Colletotrichum dematium is a plant pathogen causing anthracnose.
Colletotrichum dematium has a significant role as a cause of anthracnose in the Japanese radishes [1] and its ability to cause rare fungal keratitis [2] in humans. This information highlights both the agricultural impact of the fungus and its relevance medically. The research shows how C. dematium is a serious problem for the farmers in Japan and how it affects their crops.[3]
