Airborne asco-and conidiospores of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black sigatoka, were trapped in the Atlantic lowland of Costa Rica, Central America, during two consecutive years. Selected environmental parameters were monitored in a heavily infected plantation of the False Horn c...

Plantain (Musa spp., AAB group) is a staple food crop in the humid forest regions of West and Central Africa. Its cultivation is threatened by black leaf streak (BLS), an air‐borne fungal leaf spot disease, caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet. An on‐farm survey for BLS severity in relation...

Black sigatoka is a leaf spot disease on plantain and banana. Its sausal agent is the fungus Mycos-phaerella fijunsis Morelet. Black sigatoka is one of the most important constraints of plantain and banana cultivation throughout the world. Yield loss can be up to 50 %. Chemical control of the dis...

Intraplant variation in sympton expression and distribution of banana streak badnavirus in naturallyinfected plantain and banana ( Musa spp.)
Banana streak badnavirus (BSV) has been reported from Musa spp. in many parts of West Africa, including Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Nigeria (1). Symptoms of BSV infection in Musa spp. are sometimes similar to and confused with those caused by cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). BSV is prevalent in ...

DNA fingerprinting with synthetic simple repetitive oligonucleotides such as (CA)8 or (CAA)5 detected polymorphisms between various isolates of the ascomycete Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of the black Sigatoka disease of Musa. These microsatellite motifs are present at multiple chro...

The development of an early evaluation method for host response of different Musa clones to black sigatoka was investigated under natural inoculation conditions in southeastern Nigeria. Two months old tissue-culture-derived plants of three plantain hybrids and parents of the hybrids were exposed ...

Between 1991 to 1996, more than 50 Musa hybrids and 10 landraces were evaluated under field and screenhouse conditions for virus symptoms resembling those caused by banana streak badnavirus (BSV). The symptoms included chlorotic streaks, leaf deformation, stunting, cigar leaf death, distortion of...
