Black-foot is one of the most destructive grapevine trunk diseases in nurseries and young vineyards, causing necrotic root lesions, wood necrosis of the rootstock base, and a gradual decline and death of grapevines. Causal agents of the disease are included into the genera Campylocarpon, “ Cylindrocarpon ”, Cylindrocladiella and Ilyonectria . Recent taxonomical studies of Neonectria and related genera with “ Cylindrocarpon ”-like anamorphs based on morphological and phylogenetic studies, divided Neonectria into five genera. Thus, the current taxonomical po sition and classification of the causal agents of black-foot disease, mainly “ Cylindrocarpon ”/ Ilyonectria , comprises one of the main topics of this review. The review also provides an update on geographical distribution, epidemiol ogy and management strategies of the disease.
