Abstract

The sphacelium states of Claviceps africana and C. fusiformis, fungi associated with the sugary
disease of sorghum and the agalactia of sows, respectively, are described and illustrated. Besides Sorghum
bicolor (sorghum), S. halepense (Johnson grass) and Dichanthium aristatum (Angleton grass) are parasitized
by C. africana. The epidemiological importance of the Johnson grass and Angleton grass, as possible
inoculum reservoirs in sorghum fields, is discussed. Claviceps fusiformis was found on Cenchrus ciliaris
(buffel grass), its expected host. For the anmorphs of Claviceps spp. reported to Mexico so far, a key is
provided.
