Botryosphaeria dothidea (Mong. ex Fr.) Cesat & Notaris (syn. Botryosphaeria berengeriana de Not and Botryosphaeria ribis Grosseb. et Dugg.) is a fungus widespread throughout the world. It is not specific regarding the hosts and so far it has been recorded on the plants falling into 100 different genera. In Serbia (Yugoslavia) it was first recorded on giant sequoia, poplar, oak and common mistletoe. The disease symptoms depend on plant species, but also on the infested plant part. Shoots and thinner branches are usually killed, cancer forms on thicker branches and stems. This paper presents the main morphological and biochemical characteristics of the parasite.
