The risk posed by Xanthomonas wilt disease of banana: Mapping of disease hotspots, fronts and vulnerable landscapes
Banana production landscapes in the African Great Lakes Region (AGLR) have been under
immense pressure from Xanthomonas wilt (XW) disease over the past two decades. XW, first
reported on banana in central Uganda and eastern DR Congo in 2001, has since spread to
the entire AGLR. XW is currently spreading westwards from hot spots in eastern DR Congo
highlands, putting the plantain (Musa AAB genome) belt of central and west Africa at risk. In-
depth understanding of the key variables responsible for disease spread, current hotspots …
