Description:	Moniliophthora roreri is the causal agent of frosty pod rot, a disease affecting fruits of Theobroma and Herrania species, including cacao and cupuaçu. First reported in Brazil in 2021 (Acre), the pathogen is currently present in four municipalities in the state of Amazonas. This study aimed to investigate the phylogenetic relationships of M. roreri isolates from the Amazonas using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA. Fruit samples exhibiting extensive pseudo-stroma and sporulation were collected in 2023–2024 from Tabatinga and Benjamin Constant. DNA was extracted and subjected to PCR using ITS1 and ITS4 primers.
