Van Vuuren, Citrus and Subtropical Fruit Research Institute, Nelspruit, South Africa. Plant Dis. 64:475. Copyright 1980 American Phytopathological Society. DOI: 10.1094/PD-64-475.

Cinnamon seedlings onto which bark strips from a sunblotch-infected avocado were grafted developed symptoms of the disease. This is believed to be the first report of transmission of avocado sunblotch to a host other than avocado.
