Mycosphaerella areola is the confirmed sexual (teleomorphic) stage of Ramularia areola, the causal agent of Ramularia leaf blight in cotton. The association between the two morphs was first proposed by Ehrlich and Wolf in 1932, and later validated through morphological, pathological, and molecular evidence, including its rDNA sequence concordance.
