  • Cephalosporium proliferatum Matsush. (1971), Microfungi of the Solomon Islands and Papua-New Guinea (Osaka): 11 (1971)
  • Fusarium proliferatum (Matsush.) Nirenberg, Mitt. biol. BundAnst. Ld- u. Forstw. 169: 38 (1976)
  • Fusarium proliferatum var. minus Nirenberg, Mitt. biol. BundAnst. Ld- u. Forstw. 169: 43 (1976)

It has a worldwide distribution and has been associated with a variety of diseases in important economical crop plants, such as corn and bananas.[4][5]

It can cause a disseminated infection in immunocompromised patients,[6][7][8] The fungus can also cause an abscesses within the body where the trauma or damage is caused by a plant, such as Onychomycosis (nail infections).[9][10] The fungus was discover in 2003 as an agent that can cause Fusarium keratitis when found within a contact lens preservation solution.[11]
