Development of a Method for Detecting and Estimating Moniliophthora roreri Spore Loads Based on Spore Traps and qPCR [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Frosty pod rot, caused by Moniliophthora roreri, is the most damaging disease of cacao in Latin America and, to better comprehend its epidemiology, we must understand its dissemination and proliferation. However, we do not know how M. roreri spores loads

Combination of RNAseq and SNP nanofluidic array reveals the center of genetic diversity of cacao pathogen Moniliophthora roreri in the upper Magdalena Valley of Colombia and its clonality [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Moniliophthora roreri is the fungal pathogen that causes frosty pod rot (FPR) disease of Theobroma cacao L., the source of chocolate. FPR occurs in most of the cacao producing countries in the Western Hemisphere, causing yield losses up to 80%.

Diversity in the invasive cacao pathogen Moniliophthora roreri is shaped by agriculture
Plant Pathology, 2022 The highest genetic diversity of the cacao pathogen Moniliophthora roreri is in Ecuador and Colombia, while it drastically decreased in recently invaded countries Abstract Frosty pod rot disease of cacao (FPR), caused by the fungus Moniliophthora roreri, has severely impacted the production of cocoa in Latin America since its discovery.
