First report of Moniliophthora roreri causing frosty pod rot (moniliasis disease) of cocoa in Mexico [PDF]
Plant Pathology, 2006 Theobroma cacao, the source of cocoa or cacao, has been cultivated in Mexico for hundreds of years, with around 37,000 farms covering 62,000 Ha in Tabasco and Chiapas dedicated to its production. In March 2005, deformed and premature ripening cocoa pods were noted in the vicinity of Ignacio Zaragoza, Pichucalco in northern Chiapas. Chocolate-coloured

Frosty Pod Rot Disease: reducing the risk of its introduction to the ICGT [PDF]
, 2017 Frosty Pod Rot disease caused by the basidiomycete Moniliophthora roreri is the most devastating disease of cocoa (Theobroma cacao). This disease, which targets only the pods, can reduce yields by over 80% within a few years after pathogen establishment. In recent years FPR has invaded the last hold ‐ outs in Mesoamerica.
