Descripción
Banana Bunchy Top Disease (BBTD) caused by the virus named Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV) is listed among the world’s worst 100 invasive species.
BBTD is currently a major threat to banana cultivation in sub-Saharan Africa, and a menace for over 100 million people for whom banana is the major staple food.
FAO has been supporting countries in their efforts to control BBTD through awareness raising, farmer training and capacity building in various areas such as
surveillance, diagnosis, prevention and integrated disease management.
