Lasiodiplodia theobromae is a plant pathogen with a very wide host range. It causes rotting and dieback in most species it infects. It is a common post harvest fungus disease of citrus known as stem-end rot. It is a cause of bot canker of grapevine.[1] It also infects Caesalpinia sappan, a species of flowering tree also known as Sappanwood.

On rare occasions it has been found to cause fungal keratitis,[2] lesions on nail and subcutaneous tissue.[3][4]

It has been implicated in the widespread mortality of Baobab (Adansonia digitata) trees in Southern Africa. A preliminary study found the deaths to have a complex set of causes requiring detailed research. [5]
