Abstract
This paper reviews taxonomy, morphological characteristics, symptoms and control measurements of anthracnose causing fungi with special emphasis to tropical fruits.
The host specific species Colletotrichum musae on bananas and C. kahawae on coffee will be described as well as the polyphageous world-wide distributed species C. gloeosporioides causing typical anthracnose fruit spots on citrus, mangoes, avocados, papayas and passion fruits, leaf spots on cashew nuts and stem cankers on cassava.
