Abstract The fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was isolated from 23 fruit crops in Sri Lanka. This pathogen had not been recorded previously on durian, mangosteen, pini jambu and rambutan and 11 other less economically important fruit trees in Sri Lanka. Symptoms of infection by C. gloeosporioides on fruit tree seedlings, especially mango and rambutan, which can cause up to 40% loss of planting stock, were previously believed to be a physiological disorder. Protection of these seedlings from major sources of C. gloeosporioides inoculum is recommended. Keywords: Colletotrichum gloeosporioidestropical fruit cropsanthracnoseSri Lanka
