AB  - Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR) is caused by <i>Hemileia vastatrix</i> in <i>Coffea</i> spp. It is one of the most dangerous phytopathogens for coffee plantations in terms of coffee productivity and coffee cup quality. In this review, we resume the problem of CLR in Mexico and the pathogenesis of <i>H. vastatrix</i>. The review abord plant-pathogen interactions which lead a compatible or incompatible interactions and result in CLR disease or resistance, respectively. The review abord <i>Coffea</i> spp. defense response pathways involved in <i>H. vastatrix</i> pathogenicity. Additionally, current measures to control <i>H. vastatrix</i> proliferation and germination were aborded focused on phytosanitary actions, and biological and chemical control. Finally, new trendlines to reduce the impact of CLR as nanoparticles and nanotechnology were analyzed.
