A specific and rapid diagnostic tool has been developed to detect Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, the causal agent of bacterial wilt of banana. PCR primers were developed from intergenic regions of X. campestris pv. musacearum following its partial sequence. A total of 48 primers were test...

Development of a specific molecular tool for detecting Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum
Insect vectors of Xanthomonas campestris pv musacearum (Xcm) have played a major role
in long distance and plant to plant transmission of Xanthomonas wilt of banana (XW). The
prevalence of insects has been reported to vary in space and time. Some banana cultivars have
also been reported to attrac...

Spatial and temporal distribution of insect vectors of Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum and their activity across banana cultivars grown in Rwanda.
Insects are a major mode of banana Xanthomonas wilt (XW) spread. High insect activity has been blamed for the high XW incidence in ‘Kayinja’ (ABB-genome) dominated banana landscapes across east and central Africa. ‘Kayinja’ male bud nectar composition reportedly contributes to high insect activit...
