Cercospora melongenae is a fungal plant pathogen that causes leaf spot on eggplant (Solanum melongenum). It is a deuteromycete fungus that is primarily confined to eggplant species.[1][2] Some other host species are Solanum aethiopicum and Solanum incanum. This plant pathogen only attacks leaves of eggplants and not the fruit.[3] It is fairly common among the fungi that infect community gardens and home gardens of eggplant.[4] Generally speaking, Cercospora melongenae attacks all local varieties of eggplants, but is most severe on the Philippine eggplant and less parasitic on a Siamese variety.[1]
