  abstract = {{T}he {S}tem-end rot ({SER}) postharvest disease of mango ({M}angifera indica {L}.) fruits is a significant economic threat to mango production. {W}ithout proper management strategies, it can lead to up to 100 % postharvest losses. {D}espite its importance, very little information is known about this disease in {C}ote d'{I}voire. {T}his research aimed to determine the incidence and severity of {SER} in mango orchards, assess how preharvest climate parameters affect the disease and determine the pathogenic fungi associated with {SER}. {M}ango {SER} was evaluated on 1500 mango fruits collected from 15 orchards in {B}oundiali, {F}erkessedougou, {K}orhogo, {O}dienne, and {S}inematiali departments. {M}ango {SER} incidence ranged from 10 % to 30 %, while severity ranged from 5 % to 20 %. {N}o significant differences in these parameters were observed between the different departments ({P}>0.05). {T}he study also revealed a positive low correlation between {SER} disease incidence and mean air temperature (r = 0.36) and minimum air temperature (r = 0.26) data, indicating that preharvest weather conditions may have a marginal impact on mango {SER} disease intensity in the postharvest phase. {P}athogenic fungi associated with {SER} were isolated and identified using morphological characteristics and multilocus sequence analysis of the r{DNA} internal transcribed spacer ({ITS}) region and the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1-alpha). {V}arious fungal species associated with mango {SER} disease were also identified, with {L}asiodiplodia species (74%) being the most prevalent (including {L}asiodiplodia theobromae, {L}. euphorbicola, and {L}. caatinguensis), followed by {C}olletotrichum gloeosporioides, {C}urvularia pseudobrachyspora, {D}iaporthe endophytica and {F}usarium mangiferae. {H}owever, only {L}asiodiplodia species and {D}iaporthe endophytica induced {SER} symptoms. {T}his study was the first ever evaluation of mango {SER} disease and associated fungal pathogens identification in {C}ote d'{I}voire. {T}his result will assist researchers in developing a control method for mango {SER}.},
