Highlights

  • Anthracnose is a fungal disease, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is one of the most destructive diseases in the pre and post-harvest phases that occur with greater incidence in the subtropical and tropical regions of the world, generating great economic losses for farmers [1,2]

  • This study concluded that the largest number of articles has been published in the world literature that relate the occurrence of C. gloesporioides on M. indica and C. papaya

  • The objective of the work was to carry out a scientometric analysis of published articles that report the occurrence of the fungus C. gloeosporioides from 11 different fruits

Summary

Introduction

Anthracnose is a fungal disease, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is one of the most destructive diseases in the pre and post-harvest phases that occur with greater incidence in the subtropical and tropical regions of the world, generating great economic losses for farmers [1,2]. The effects of the environment can intervene in the development of pathogens, knowledge of environmental variations can contribute to disease management strategies [4,5]. The development of C. gloeosporioides occurs due to high temperature and relative humidity, where the conidia are released and disseminated at that moment when the clots are moist. Give rise to appressorium where penetration occurs in the host’s tissue [6]. For the control of the disease, it is common to apply pesticides, mainly fungicides, but with the increase in damage to the environment, health and resistance of phytopathogens, new alternatives have progressed, such as the use of natural products that have been studied with the purpose of reducing the damage caused by this fungus [8]
