“…Although N. dimidiatum almost infects the woody plants, but there are some reports that this species causes disease on leafy plants. The N. dimidiatum has been reported as the leaf blight causal agent on white spider lily ( Hymenocallis littoralis ) in Malaysia, Cattleya × hybrid in Taiwan, Sansevieria trifasciata in Brazil, Origanum onites and Melissa officinalis in Turkey 18 , 19 , 22 , 68 , 69 . Based on our observation of the surveyed greenhouse, about 16 percent of the growing Clivia plants had the leaf blight symptom, similar to the sampled symptom, showing the importance of the emerging leaf blight disease on Clivia plants caused by N. dimidiatum .…”

In this survey, the symptomatic leaves of Clivia miniata were collected from a greenhouse in Karaj city of Iran. The isolation and morphological investigation showed Scytalidium-like fungus associated with leaf blight symptom. The phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer along with partial sequences of rDNA large subunit and translation elongation factor 1-α (tef-1α) genomic regions confirmed the identification of the recovered isolate as Neoscytalidium dimidiatum. The pycnidial morph of the fungus didn’t observe both in vitro and in vivo. The pathogenicity test on C. miniata and C. nobilis was also conducted to fulfill the Koch’s postulates. To our Knowledges, this is the first report of N. dimidiatum causing leaf blight disease on C. miniata and C. nobilis worldwide, as well as these host plants are new for N. dimidiatum in the world.

“…In the non‐EU areas of its current distribution, N. dimidiatum affects a wide range of woody perennial crops and ornamental plants causing a variety of symptoms, which include leaf spot, leaf scorch, leaf/needle blight, shoot blight, branch dieback, canker, blossom decline, pre‐harvest and post‐harvest fruit rot, stem‐end rot, gummosis, root rot, decline and even the death of the hosts (Pavlic et al., 2008 ; Polizzi et al., 2011 ; Sakalidis et al., 2011 ; Mohd et al., 2013 ; Rolshausen et al., 2013 ; Machado et al., 2014 ; Yi et al., 2015 ; Mayorquin et al., 2016 ; Lin et al., 2017 ; Nouri et al., 2018 ; de Mello et al., 2019 ; Oksal et al., 2019 ; Sabernasab et al., 2019 ; Türkölmez et al., 2019a , 2019b ; Hong et al., 2020 ; Nourian et al., 2021 ; Özer et al., 2022 ; Güney et al., 2022a , 2022b ; Ören et al., 2022a , 2022b ).…”

The EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, a clearly defined plant pathogenic fungus of the family Botryosphaeriaceae. The pathogen affects a wide range of woody perennial crops and ornamental plants causing symptoms such as leaf spot, shoot blight, branch dieback, canker, pre-and post-harvest fruit rot, gummosis and root rot. The pathogen is present in Africa, Asia, North and South America, and Oceania. It has also been reported from Greece, Cyprus and Italy, with a restricted distribution. Nevertheless, there is a key uncertainty on the geographical distribution of N. dimidiatum worldwide and in the EU, because in the past, when molecular tools were not available, the two synanamorphs of the pathogen (Fusicoccum-like and Scytalidium-like) might have been misidentified based only on morphology and pathogenicity tests. N. dimidiatum is not included in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072. Because of the wide host range of the pathogen, this pest categorisation focuses on those hosts for which there is robust evidence that the pathogen was formally identified by a combination of morphology, pathogenicity and multilocus sequence analysis. Plants for planting, fresh fruits and bark and wood of host plants as well as soil and other plant growing media are the main pathways for the further entry of the pathogen into the EU. Host availability and climate suitability factors occurring in parts of the EU are favourable for the further establishment of the pathogen. In the areas of its present distribution, including Italy, the pathogen has a direct impact on cultivated hosts. Phytosanitary measures are available to prevent the further introduction and spread of the pathogen into the EU. N. dimidiatum satisfies the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess for this species to be regarded as potential Union quarantine pest.

Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, a plant- and human-associated fungus, has emerged as a substantial global ecological and agricultural threat aggravated by global warming. It inflicts various diseases, including canker, blight, dieback, leaf spot, root rot, and fruit rot, across a wide spectrum of fruit trees, field crops, shrubs, and arboreal species, with a host range spanning 46 plant families, 84 genera, and 126 species, primarily affecting eudicot angiosperms. Six genera are asymptomatic hosts. Neoscytalidium dimidiatum exhibits worldwide distribution, with the highest prevalence observed in Asia and North America, notably in Iran, Turkey, and California. Rising disease prevalence and severity, aggravated by climate change, particularly impact tropical arid places across 37 countries spanning all 7 continents. This comprehensive review encapsulates recent advancements in the understanding of N. dimidiatum, encompassing alterations in its taxonomic classification, host range, symptoms, geographic distribution, epidemiology, virulence, and strategies for effective management. This study also concentrates on comprehending the taxonomic relationships and intraspecific variations within N. dimidiatum, with a particular emphasis on N. oculus and N. hylocereum, proposing to consider these two species as synonymous with N. dimidiatum. Furthermore, this review identifies prospective research directions aimed at augmenting our fundamental understanding of host—N. dimidiatum interaction.
