Am. From 1890 to 1960,the disease had destroyed more than 40000 ha of banana in Central and south Asia. Plant Health Progress(December): 1-10. Once a banana plant is infected, recovery is rare, but if it does occur, any new emerging suckers will already be infected and can propagate disease if planted.The disease is dispersed by spores or infected material that travel in surface water or farming activities. About 30 to 40% of suckers from a diseased plant are infected and not all show symptoms, so the chance of growing a new, already infected plant is fairly high. 51-80.

During the 1950s, an outbreak of Panama disease almost wiped out the commercial Not all banana producing countries have been affected by the new outbreak of Panama disease (TR4) yet. External symptoms often get confused with the symptoms of bacterial wilt of banana, but ways to differentiate between the two diseases include: It was then reported from Panama in 1890.

When the environment is ideal and there are host roots available (fungus is attracted to root exudates), these chlamydospores will germinate and hyphae will penetrate the roots, initiating infection. One specific transformed line, which consisted of 8 plants, showed resistance in the field for all of them.
