Panama disease characterize Panama disease of banana: These symptoms often get confused with the symptoms of bacterial wilt of banana, but ways to differentiate between the two diseases include: Once a banana plant is infected, it continues to grow and any new leaves will be pale in color. Recovery is rare, but if it does occur, any new emerging suckers will already be infected and can propagate disease if planted. "Fusarium oxysporum" f. sp. "cubense" (Foc) is most prominent in banana, but some other relatives are also susceptible to infection. Different races of the disease are used to classify different major hosts
Plant disease epidemiology foliar pathogens. Using this framework we can now model and determine thresholds for epidemics that take place in a homogeneous environment such as a mono-cultural crop field. Disease epidemics in plants can cause huge losses in yield of crops as well threatening to wipe out an entire species such as was the case with Dutch Elm Disease and could occur with Sudden Oak Death. An epidemic of potato late blight, caused by "Phytophthora infestans", led to the Great Irish Famine and the loss of many lives. Commonly the elements of an epidemic are referred to as the “disease triangle”: a
