The fruits are widely used as vegetables, spices, and medicines worldwide. There are several economically important diseases caused by Fusarium species have been reported on this crop, such as damping-off, wilt, root rot, stem rot, and fruit rot.

In this study, Fusarium isolates associated with chilli pepper in tsunami-affected areas (Aceh) and non-tsunami affected areas in Indonesia and Peninsular Malaysia (as a comparison) were isolated, identified, characterized and tested for pathogenicity.

A total of 503 isolates of Fusarium obtained from soil-debris and diseased chilli pepper plants from all sampling areas were identified into eight species, F. semitectum, F. solani, F. proliferatum, F. oxysporum, F. dimerum, F. equiseti, F. subglutinans, and F. sterilihyphosum. The difference frequency of distribution and diversity of Fusarium species were clearly observed between tsunami-affected and non-tsunami affected areas.
