Cochliobolus lunatus is a fungal plant pathogen that can cause disease in humans and other animals. The anamorph of this fungus is known as Curvularia lunata, while Cochliobolus lunatus denotes the teleomorph or sexual state. They are, however, the same biological entity. Cochliobolus lunatus is the most commonly reported species in clinical cases of reported Cochliobolus infection.
