[Montepellier.]: [Bioversity International, 2011. p. 31.c2011  aDiseases are the most important constraints to banana production across the world and, under some situations preclude growing bananas. Fungal leaf diseases (Mycosphaerella leaf spots and other leaf spots caused by Cladosporium, Cordana and Cloridium spp.) all pose serious threats. Vascular diseases, like Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense), Moko bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum race 2) and Xanthomonas wilt (Xanlhomonas campestris pv. musacearum) pose a similar threat, as do viruses (banana streak viruses - BSV, Cucumber mosaic virus - CMV, Banana bunchy top virus - BBTV and Banana bract mosaic virus - BBrMV) and several fruit spots and rots (anthracnose, crown rot, diamond spot, Deightoniella fruit speckle, gray spot and cigar-end rot).  aMycosphaerella  aFusarium  aBanana Diseases  aMusa spp1 aMATOS, A.
