Dothiorella dominicana

Dothiorella dominicana is a fungal plant pathogen that infects Mangifera indica, the mango tree.[1][2] In South Africa, it is known as blossom blight. Infection with D. dominicana causes rapid drying and partial or complete death of the inflorescense, and can also cause branch die-back.[2]
