Importance and distribution

Cladosporiella comprises five hyper parasitic species on nine hosts namely Cercospora koepkei (Mycosphaerellaceae), Passalora koepkei (Mycosphaerellaceae), Saccharum officinarum (Poaceae), Coffea arabica (Rubiaceae), Blechnum occidentale (Blechnaceae), Rubus floribundus (Rosaceae), Andropogon auriculatus (Poaceae), Canna sp. (Cannaceae) and Scirpus grossus (Cyperaceae). Cladosporiella is reported from Africa (Sierra Leone), Asia (Malaysia, Philippines), North America (Caribbean, the United States) and South America (Venezuela). New collections are needed as molecular data is lacking.
