Pleopeltis polypodioides gets its common name "resurrection fern" because it can survive long periods of drought by curling up its fronds and appearing desiccated, grey-brown and dead. However, when just a little water is present, the fern will uncurl and reopen, appearing to "resurrect".
Symptoms can overlap across causal agents, however differing signs and symptoms of certain pathogens can lead to the diagnosis of the type of leaf spot disease. Prolonged wet and humid conditions promote leaf spot disease and most pathogens are spread by wind, splashing rain or irrigation that carry the disease to other leaves.
Pleopeltis michauxiana, known as the resurrection fern, scaly polypody, and Gray's polypody, [3] [4] [5] is a species of epiphytic fern native to North America and Central America. [5] Pleopeltis michauxiana is found in the lower Midwest and Southeastern United States, Mexico, and Guatemala. [5] It is the most widespread epiphytic fern in North ...

Symptoms on leaves initially occur where water droplets accumulate and eventually form small, brown spots surrounded by halos on the upper surface of leaves. [2] These spots expand very quickly and form large brown lesions. [3] The entire leaf can be destroyed within a few days of the initial appearance of symptoms under wet conditions. [4]
Alternatively, these plants may serve to capture and control sand flies by using their odor compounds or the plants themselves alongside simple glue traps, or by spraying them with deadly pesticides for sand flies which are safe for humans and mammals (e.g., boric acid or spinosad) thereby stopping the spread of the disease.
