Furthermore, during 2015-2016, CDFA detections of anthracnose disease of <em>Cymbidium<\/em> sp., <em>Aglaonema<\/em> sp., and <em>Dieffenbachia<\/em> sp. plants in nurseries in San Diego County in California, were attributed to <em>Colletotrichum<\/em> cf. <em>cliviae<\/em> (\u2018cf\u2019 in biological terminology means \u2018a significant resemblance to\u2019).\u00a0 Those detections initiated, and were included in, a pest rating assessment for the closely similar species, <em>C. cliviae<\/em>, which was eventually given a permanent B-rating. However, those detections were recently shown to be, instead, <em>C. aracearum <\/em>(Kennedy, 2017; Latham, 2017).\u00a0 The recent detection of <em>C. cliviae<\/em> in San Diego marked the first record of this pathogen in California. Consequently, the infected plants were treated by the nursery and are to be periodically re-inspected (Walber, 2017).\u00a0 The risk of the introduction and establishment of <em>C. cliviae<\/em>, and its current rating in California are re-evaluated here.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>History &amp; Status:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><u>Background<\/u>:\u00a0<\/strong> <em>Colletotrichum cliviae<\/em> causes anthracnose and leaf blight disease in its host plants.\u00a0 The fungal pathogen was originally reported from <em>Clivia miniata<\/em> (clivia\/flame\/bush\/kaffir lily) leaves growing in Yunnan Province, China and reported as not being host-specific (Yang <em>et al.<\/em>, 2009). Since then, <em>C. cliviae<\/em> has been found on few tropical and subtropical hosts from China, India, Brazil, and recently, from the USA (California).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Hosts<\/em>: <em>Arundina graminifolia<\/em> (Bamboo orchid), <em>Camellia sinensis<\/em> (tea plant), <em>Clivia miniata<\/em> (Kaffir lily), <em>Capsicum annuum<\/em> (pepper), <em>Capsicum<\/em> sp., <em>Cymbidium hookerianum<\/em> (orchid), <em>C. pendulum<\/em>, <em>Glycine max<\/em> (soybean), <em>Mangifera indica<\/em> (mango) <em>Phaseolus<\/em> sp.

However, in California, nursery and greenhouse production of orchids, croton, and other host plants would be particularly at risk as nursery conditions are often conducive to infection by <em>Colletotrichum<\/em> species.\u00a0 In California\u2019s cultivated fields, disease development may be sporadic as it is affected by levels of pathogen inoculum and environmental conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Disease Cycle<\/em>:\u00a0 It is likely that <em>Colletotrichum cliviae <\/em>has a similar life cycle to that of other <em>Colletotrichum<\/em> species and survives between crops during winter as mycelium on plant residue in soil, on infected plants, and on seeds.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 \u00a0Conidia are transmitted to host plants.\u00a0 Humid, wet, rainy weather is necessary for infection to occur.\u00a0 These requirements in particular may limit the occurrence of the pathogen in California fields and subsequently, the pathogen may be more of a problem under controlled environments of greenhouses.\u00a0 Conidia germinate, penetrate host tissue by means of specialized hyphae (appresoria) and invade host tissue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Transmission:<\/em>\u00a0 Wind, wind-driven rain, cultivation tools, and human contact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><u>Worldwide Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> <em>Asia<\/em>: China, India; <em>South America:<\/em> Brazil (Farr &amp; Rossman, 2016; Liu <em>et al<\/em>., 2015; Vieira <em>et al<\/em>., 2014; Yang <em>et al<\/em>., 2011).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><u>Official Control<\/u>:\u00a0<\/strong> <em>Colletotrichum cliviae<\/em> is reportable to the USDA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><u>California Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> <em>Colletotrichum cliviae<\/em> is not established in California.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><u>California Interceptions<\/u>:\u00a0<\/strong> Only one interception from Florida is recorded (see \u2018Initiating Event).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The risk <em>Colletotrichum cliviae<\/em> would pose to California is evaluated below.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Consequences of Introduction:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>1) Climate\/Host Interaction:<\/strong> Similar to other species of <em>Colletotrichum, C. cliviae<\/em> requires humid, wet, rainy weather for conidia to infect host plants.
