The Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV) is a viral disease that affects banana plants, causing stunted growth and a characteristic bunching of leaves at the top of the plant. This virus is transmitted primarily by aphids, which are small sap-sucking insects. Infected plants often show symptoms such as yellowing leaves and reduced fruit yield, making it a significant threat to banana production. BBTV is found in many tropical and subtropical regions, impacting both commercial and subsistence farming. Control measures include using resistant banana varieties, managing aphid populations, and removing infected plants to prevent the spread of the virus.
