 When the species' entire host range is considered the economic impact cannot be overstated.There is, however, current research suggesting that due to the variability of "C. gloeosporioides" among hosts, this pathogen should be split into different species or at least different formal species designations.Phylogenetic analysis of "C. gloeosporioides" isolates sampled from across the broad host range shows enough genetic variation to suggest a need for more specific classification among this species.
