• Text: "Mycosphaerella acaciigena was recently described from leaf spots on Acacia mangium leaves collected in Venezuela (Crous et al., 2004c). Although this is the first report of this fungus from Eucalyptus, and also the first report from Australia, several species of Mycosphaerella are now known to move between Eucalyptus and Acacia hosts (Crous and Groenewald, 2005)."
