abstract={The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of <i>Neofusicoccum </i><i>ribis </i>to infect leaf surfaces of different rubber (<i>Hevea brasiliensis</i>) clones. <i>Neofusicoccum </i><i>ribis </i>isolates previously identified on the basis of morphological characteristics and DNA sequence analysis were used to inoculate rubber leaves and seedlings <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> respectively. <i>Neofusicoccum </i><i>ribis</i><i> </i>isolates were demonstrated to cause lesions on rubber clones examined in this study. There was variation in susceptibility of the rubber clones to the pathogen. This study provides useful information that could be exploited to better manage the disease.},
