Summary: | Bacterial diseases of bananas and enset have not received, until recently, an equal amount of attention compared to other major threats to banana production such as the fungal diseases black leaf streak (
) and Fusarium wilt (
f. sp.
). However, bacteria cause significant impacts on bananas globally and management practices are not always well known or adopted by farmers. Bacterial diseases in bananas and enset can be divided into three groups: (1) Ralstonia-associated diseases (Moko/Bugtok disease caused by
and banana blood disease caused by
subsp.
); (2) Xanthomonas wilt of banana and enset, caused by
pv.
and (3) Erwinia-associated diseases (bacterial head rot or tip-over disease
ssp.
and
), bacterial rhizome and pseudostem wet rot (
formerly
pv.
). Other bacterial diseases of less widespread importance include: bacterial wilt of abaca, Javanese vascular wilt and bacterial fingertip rot (probably caused by
spp., unconfirmed). This review describes global distribution, symptoms, pathogenic diversity, epidemiology and the state of the art for sustainable disease management of the major bacterial wilts currently affecting banana and enset. |
