Abstract A description is provided for Phoma caricae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Carica papaya. DISEASE: Black leathery rot of fruit, sunken bleached rot of young stems and leaf petioles and brown and white spot of leaves. On half-grown fruit the first visible symptom is a small circular water-soaked spot which slowly enlarges and darkens whilst the fruit is still immature but develops more rapidly as the plant tissues break colour. Within 2 weeks the lesion may reach 5 cm diam., become sunken and brownish-black in colour. On leaves, spots on both upper and lower surfaces are brown with a darker margin but gradually turn white as they dry out. On flowers the visible symptoms are brown decayed areas. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Mauritius, Rhodesia, Tanzania, Togo, Sudan, Zambia); Asia (India, Nepal, Thailand); Australasia & Oceania (Australia, New South Wales, Queensland, West Irian, Hawaii); Central America (Honduras); South America (Ecuador: Quito). TRANSMISSION: Probably by water splash and contact; infection through both wounded and unwounded surfaces (17, 627).

Abstract A description is provided for Septoria vignae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Vigna unguiculata (cowpea) (= V. sinensis); also on V. lanceolata. DISEASE: Leaf spots of cowpea. The visible symptoms are chocolate brown to rust brown spots, paler below with pale or whitish centres. The spots are amphigenous but more prominent on the upper side of the leaf, usually rounded or irregular, up to 6 mm wide, occasionally coalescing to form larger spots with well defined margins. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Botswana, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia, Zimbabwe); Asia (India, Hong Kong); Australasia and Oceania (Australia, Queensland, New South Wales); South America (Brazil, Bahia). TRANSMISSION: No specific studies reported; presumably by conidia dispersed by water splash. The fungus might overwinter on crop debris left in the field.

Pycnidia are amphigenous when foliicolous. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Dahomey, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Malawi, Nigeria, Rhodesia, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Togoland, Zambia); Asia (North Borneo, Philippines); Australasia (New South Wales, Queensland); Europe (Rumania); North America (United States); Central America and Caribbean (Jamaica), South America (?

Abstract A description is provided for Microsporum distortum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Recorded on man, monkey, dog and horse. Some human infections have been in children with a history of contact with cats with skin lesions but these animals were not examined by culture. Rats, guineapigs, rabbits and cats have been experimentally infected. DISEASE: Ringworm (dermatophytosis tinea). Similar to M. canis infections. Infected hairs fluoresce pale to bright green under Wood's light and are encrusted with ectothrix sheaths of small spores in a mosaic arrangement. In man, the scalp (tinea capitis) and glabrous skin (tinea corporis) may be infected. Most reported infections have been in children under 7 years old. Scalp lesions have been reported only in children, and usually consist of scaling patches of alopecia, with some erythema at the margin. Skin lesions are usually small, circular, with erythematous borders and dry, scaling centres. In animals scaling patches of alopecia are the usual symptom. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Australia (New South Wales), New Zealand (apparently restricted to Otago), U.S.A. (Iowa, Ga). All cases reported from U.S.A. have been in pet monkeys probably recently imported from Central America, and in humans and dogs which had been in contact with the monkeys.
