Abstract

Prevalence of bean anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum
lindemuthianum was assessed in four agro-ecologies in
Zambia. Subsequently, fungal isolates were tested for race
specifically involving race differentials and DNA analysis using
Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) and Random Amplified
Microsatelites (RMMs). The disease was highly prevalent and
severe in the wetter agro-ecology of Kasama and 17 pathotypes
were found.
