Banana phid and BBTD survey Cameroon 2013-2014

Banana bunchy top disease (BBTD) caused by the Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) is the most destructive viral disease of bananas. In 2013-14, a survey was carried out in 60 locations across three regions to assess the presence of BBTD and its associated insect vector, the banana aphid (Pentalonia nigronervosa). BBTD was found in 5 locations in the South Region. Banana aphids were observed throughout all the 60 locations at various levels of abundance. Ants were also frequently seen tending aphid colonies, a mutualistic association that helps protect and sustain aphid populations. The widespread presence of its vector highlighted the importance of continued monitoring and the use of healthy planting materials to prevent future disease outbreaks.
