Abstract

Quambalaria eucalypti -a serious pathogen of Eucalyptus- is believed to be native to Australia and it has been introduced into various southern hemisphere countries including Uruguay. In this study we record the discovery of Q. eucalypti causing leaf lesions on the native to Uruguay tree, Myrceugenia glaucescens. The identity of the pathogen was confirmed using DNA sequence comparisons of the ITS region. This is the first record of the pathogen on a host other than Eucalyptus. It clearly indicates a disturbing example of an alien invasive pathogen having undergone a host-shift from non-native Eucalyptus to a native tree in Uruguay.
