Thanassopoulos et al. (1990) Plant Disease describe pear black spot occurring on Pyrus communis in Makedonii in the 1980s. Although the leaf spotting normally caused by A. gaisen (the black spot pathogen) was seen, European pear is not otherwise recorded as a host of A. gaisen and the isolate concerned was later identified as A. alternata sensu stricto.
