Journal ArticleDOI

Moses Biruma,Michael Pillay,Leena Tripathi,Guy Blomme,Steffen Abele,Maina Mwangi,Ranajit Bandyopadhyay,Perez Muchunguzi,Sadik Kassim,Moses Nyine,Laban Turyagyenda,S. Eden-Green +11 more
TL;DR: A review of the disease and management strategies that have been successful in curtailing its spread is presented and it appears that certain banana cultivars have mechanisms to ‘escape’ the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Presence of banana xanthomonas wilt ( Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum ) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
TL;DR: It may be feasible to eradicate this outbreak by destroying affected plants and cleaning up affected fields, combined with removing male flower buds in surrounding healthy plants to prevent insect transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systemicity of Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum and time to disease expression after inflorescence infection in East African highland and Pisang Awak bananas in Uganda
TL;DR: The study confirmed the systemicity of Xcm, with the pathogen able to live within the mat for long periods (5-16 months) without causing disease, and reliance on disease symptom expression to manage XW is not sufficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of insects in the transmission of banana bacterial wilt
W. Tinzaara,Clifford S. Gold,F. Ssekiwoko,Wilberforce Tushemereirwe,Ranajit Bandyopadhyay,A. M. K. Abera,S. Eden-Green +6 more
TL;DR: An inventory of insects found on banana inflorescence, investigated possible sources of inoculum in banana plants and determined insect species that carried the bacterium on their bodies and thus possible vectors of the disease, finding the most abundant insects visiting banana flowers are stingless bee.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a semiselective medium for isolating Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum from insect vectors, infected plant material and soil
Maina Mwangi,M. Mwebaze,Ranajit Bandyopadhyay,V. Aritua,S. Eden-Green,Wilberforce Tushemereirwe,Jason A. Smith +6 more
TL;DR: Twenty-nine out of 33 suspected Xcm strains isolated from plants, soil and insects using CCA were pathogenic when inoculated onto banana plants, indicating that CCA can be a reliable tool in isolating Xcm populations.
