However, its vector, the banana aphid Pentalonia nigronervosa, was found in all surveyed locations, indicating a high potential risk for virus spread. In addition, banana weevils, nematods and symptoms of Sigatoka Disease were observed at every survey site, confirming their widespread occurrence throughout both regions. integrated pest and disease management strategies to prevent the spread of BBTD and reduce the impact of major banana pests and diseases on production.
