Abstract Citrus scab diseases are caused by three species of Elsinoë . These are important diseases affecting citrus production and impacting international trade of fresh fruits, because of quarantine restrictions. Repeated rejections of shipments of Citrus × latifolia (Tahiti lime – TL) fruit imported from Brazil were determined by European quarantine authorities, due to the detection of Elsinoë citricola . These caused great concern to the stakeholders involved and significant economic losses.
