Dothiorella ulmi is a fungal plant pathogen that causes die-back of elm. It was first identified in 1929 on American elm ( Ulmus americana ) and was thought to belong to the order Sphaeropsidales but was later described as Cephalosporium sp. before formally being identified as Dothiorella ulmi in 1937.^[1]
