Lasiodiplodia theobromae is a plant pathogen with a very wide host range. It causes rotting and dieback in most species it infects. On rare occasions it has been found to cause Fungal keratitis,[1] lesions on nail and subcutaneous tissue. [2] [3] is a common post harvest fungus disease of citrus known as stem-end rot.
