A permanent rating for <em>Colletotrichum orbiculare<\/em> is proposed herein.<\/p>\n<h5>History &amp; Status:<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Background:<\/strong><\/span> <em>Colletotrichum orbiculare<\/em> is a fungal pathogen causing anthracnose disease of cucurbit plants particularly watermelon, cantaloupe, and cucumber. The species is often known by its synonymized scientific name, <em>Colletotrichum lagenarium<\/em> and belongs to the taxonomic family Glomerellaceae, within the phylum Ascomycota. <em>C. orbiculare<\/em> is the asexual (anamorph) stage of the pathogen. The sexual stage (telemorph) with the name <em>Glomerella lagenarium<\/em> has been reported but is rarely found in nature. Two distinct populations of the pathogen are known: one from watermelon (race 1) and the other from cucumber and melon (race 1 and 3) (Sitterly &amp; Keinath, 1996).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><em>Hosts<\/em><\/strong>: The pathogen commonly attacks members of the family <em>Cucurbitaceae<\/em>, especially melon and watermelon. Hosts include <em>Althaea officinalis<\/em> (marsh-mallow), <em>Artocarpus heterophyllus<\/em> (jackfruit), <em>Benincasa hispida<\/em> (wax gourd), <em>Citrullus lanatus<\/em> (watermelon), <em>Cucumis melo<\/em> (melon), <em>Cucumis sativus<\/em> (cucumber), <em>Cucurbita maxima<\/em> (giant pumpkin), <em>C. moschata<\/em> (pumpkin), <em>C. pepo<\/em> (ornamental gourd), <em>Momordica charantia<\/em> (bitter gourd) and <em>Trichosanthes cucumerina<\/em> var. <em>anguinea<\/em> (snake gourd) (CABI, 2014).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><strong>Symptoms<\/strong><\/em>: Host plants infected with <em>Colletotrichum orbiculare<\/em> exhibit symptoms of anthracnose and fruit rot. In California, except for seedless watermelon, anthracnose is unusual on cucurbit crops and can cause leaf, fruit, and\/or stem lesions. On cucurbits, leaf spots are usually large (&gt;10 mm diameter) and tan to pale brown with distinct margins. However on watermelon, these foliage lesions are dark brown to black. Brown or black lesions appear on fruit. These lesions grow to 20-30 mm diameter, become sunken, wrinkled and dark, with concentric rings of sub-surface, tiny, black, saucer-shaped asexual structures that containing spores or conidia (acervuli). In wet weather, pink or orange spores ooze from these asexual structures (CABI, 2014; UCIPM, 2008). Fruit is susceptible to infection approximately at the time of ripening and severely infected fruits are often tasteless or bitter and usually invaded by soft rotting bacteria and fungi (Agrios, 2005).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><em>Damage Potential<\/em><\/strong>: Anthracnose disease caused by <em>Colletotrichum orbiculare<\/em> has recently been considered to be particularly important wherever cucurbits are cultivated under highly controlled conditions. High infections may cause formation of numerous leaf lesions and vine defoliation resulting in poor quality fruit and yield loss (Egel, 2014). Watermelon artificially inoculated with <em>C. orbiculare<\/em> (as<em> C. lagenarium<\/em>) caused up to 63% losses in yield (CABI, 2014).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><strong>Disease Cycle<\/strong><\/em>: The species has a similar life cycle to that of other <em>Colletotrichum<\/em> species and survives between crops during winter as mycelium on cucurbit plant residue in soil, on infected volunteer plants, and on or in cucurbit seed. During active growth, the pathogen produces masses of hyphae (stromata) which bear conidiophores, on the plant surface. Conidia (spores) are produced at the tips of the conidiophores and disseminated by wind, rain, cultivation tools, equipment, and field workers. Conidia are transmitted to host plants. Humid, wet, rainy weather is necessary for infection to occur. Condia germinate and grow optimally at 22-27\u00b0C and 100% relative humidity for 24 hours. These requirements in particular may limit the occurrence of the pathogen in California fields and subsequently, the pathogen may be more of a problem in transplants grown under controlled environments of greenhouses. Condia germinate, penetrate host tissue by means of specialized hyphae (appresoria) and invade host tissue up to 72 hours after deposition. Symptoms are produced about 96 hours after infection. The sexual stage (telemorph) is rarely found in nature (Sitterly &amp; Keinath, 1996).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><strong>Transmission<\/strong><\/em>: Wind, wind-driven rain, cultivation tools, and human contact.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Worldwide Distribution:<\/strong><\/span> <em>Colletotrichum orbiculare<\/em> is widely distributed throughout the world and has been reported from several countries in Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Central America and Caribbean, Europe and Oceania.
