“…Recently, Meldrum et al (2013) detected TR4 on the exoskeletons of the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, and suggested that the insect could be a vector or disease predisposing agent. Aerial dissemination of Foc may be possible since macroconida/sporodochia of the pathogen are produced on artificially inoculated plants in greenhouse experiments (Miguel Dita and Gert Kema, personal communication).…”

“…A nivel de campo, al comienzo de la marchitez por Fusarium, las plantas infectadas pueden estar distribuidas al azar, pero a partir de ese momento el principal proceso de difusión se origina de planta a planta, pudiendo definir un patrón agregado, comúnmente visto en muchas áreas (Meldrum et al, 2013). La dispersión se produce por movimiento pasivo de propágulos del patógeno (Dita et al, 2018).…”

“…No menos importante son los nematodos y gorgojos; al respecto, estudios recientes indicaron que, estos últimos, pueden transportar esporas viables de Foc en sus exoesqueletos (Meldrum et al, 2013). Por cuanto, insectos como Metamasius hemipterus, deben ser tomados en cuenta, al igual que otros como los mosquitos (Bradysia spp.)…”

“…The adult insect has nocturnal habits, sheltering during the day between the leaf sheaths of the plants, remains of the culture and rhizomes of plants harvested, which makes its observation by farmers difficult (Gold et al, 2001;Vinatier and Vinatier, 2013). Recent studies demonstrated the relation between C. sordidus and phytopathogens of banana plant as the causal agents of the Fusarium wilt Race 4 (Meldrum et al, 2013) and bacterial wilt (Were et al, 2015). Therefore, this fact reinforces the need of banana weevil control, which might reduce disease spread.…”
