This study was carried out to investigate the potential role of banana weevils as vectors of Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm), causal agent of banana wilt. Weevils captured from Xcm-infected plants were tested for presence of Xcm, and further raised on Xcm-infected corms for later use ...

The banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar), is a potential vector of Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum in bananas
Xanthomonas wilt is currently the major biotic threat to banana production in East and Central Africa (ECA). The recommended management options for the disease include destruction of infected plants, disinfecting tools used in the plantation, using clean planting materials, early removal of male ...

The banana Xanthomonas wilt epidemic in east and central Africa: current research and development efforts
Xanthomonas wilt (XW) caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm) is an important constraint to banana production in East and Central Africa. The use of clean planting materials (CPM) for establishing new fields/ re-planting rouged fields/mats is recommended. However, banana is mainly p...
