English: Pseudoperonospora cubensis is a species of water mould known for causing downy mildew on cucurbits such as cantaloupe, cucumber, pumpkin, squash and watermelon. This water mould is an important pathogen of all these crops, especially in areas with high humidity and rainfall, such as the eastern United States. In most years the disease is an annual, late-season problem on squash and pumpkin in the eastern and central United States, however, since 2004 it has become one of the most important diseases in cucumber production. Considered a highly destructive foliar disease of cucurbits, successful breeding in the mid-twentieth century provided adequate control of downy mildew in cucumber without the use of fungicides. The resurgence in virulence has caused growers great concern and substantial economic losses, while downy mildew in other cucurbit crops continues to be a yearly hindrance.

Italiano: La peronospora delle cucurbitacee (Pseudoperonospora cubensis) è tra le principali malattie fogliari di zucca, zucchino, melone, anguria, cetriolo e cucurbitacee in genere, sia in coltura protetta che in pieno campo.

Gatunek jest pasożytem bezwzględnym, należy do patogenów wywołujących mączniaki rzekome – grupę chorób roślin porażających głównie liście, łodygi i owoce. W przypadku P. cubensis patogen powoduje szkody zwłaszcza w uprawach dyniowatych.
