Abstract
Mexico is one of the major producers of berries worldwide and ranks third amongst the principal exporters of these fruits. However, the presence of diseases in crops of blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, and raspberry in production areas of the country, has a negative impact in production yields. In this work, we presented a revision of all pathogens reported for these berries during the last 64 years in Mexico. Data on the different groups of pathogens including bacteria, stramenopila, and fungi, as well as location and references, are listed for the several types of berries produced. The pathogen species names were actualized according to the current taxonomic status following the specialized nomenclatural websites. Perspectives for future research are discussed. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers
