''Colletotrichum kahawae'' is a fungal plant pathogen that causes Coffee Berry Disease (CBD) on Arabic coffee crops. The pathogen is an ascomycete that reproduces sexually and asexually. The asexual spores (conidia) are stored within acervuli.〔 This disease is considered to be one of the major factors hampering Arabic coffee production in the African continent, which represents current geographic range of the fungus. Coffee berry disease causes dark necrosis in spots and causes the green berries of the coffee to drop prematurely. High humidity, relatively warm temperatures, and high altitude are ideal for disease formation.〔Manuel, Luzolo, et al. "Characterization of Colletotrichum kahawae isolates causing coffee berry disease in Angola." Journal of Phytopathology 158.4 (2010): 310-313.〕 Given the severity of the disease and the lack of effective control measures, there is great concern that the fungus may spread to Arabic coffee growing areas in other continents, such as South America, which could have catastrophic consequences. == Taxonomy == Until recently, the taxonomic description and position of ''C. kahawae'' was a subject of great confusion. From the range of ''Colletotrichum'' spp. that are isolated from coffee plants, four groups were initially described based on their morphological traits: CCM (C. coffeanum mycelial), CCA (C. coffeanum acervuli), CCP (C. coffeanum pink) and the Coffee berry disease (CBD) strain. The three former groups were latter recognized as ''C. gloeosporioides'' Penz (CCM and CCA) and ''C. acutatum'' Simmonds (CCP), and proved to be non-pathogenic in green coffee berries. Only the fourth group was able to infect both wounded and unwounded green berries and was formerly referred to as ''C. coffeanum''.〔 However, ''C. coffeanum'' was described in 1901 based on ''Colletotrichum'' isolated from coffee in Brazil, where CBD does not exist, and was probably synonymous with ''C. gloeosporioides'', which occurs as a saprophyte or weak pathogen of ripe berries and damaged coffee tissue worldwide. Several authors attempted to emend this anomaly but it was not until 1993 that Waller and Bridge described ''C. kahawae'' as the causal agent of CBD and as a distinct species based on morphological, cultural and biochemical characters and more recently on multi-locus datasets.〔
