Default Virus? Nutritional?

*Sorry for the giant photos*
I recently put this mysore in the ground and noticed the other two I have in pots have the same leaf issues.
Can someone tell me what this might be? It isn't on any of our other bananas.
I pulled this one out of the ground and have it in the corner of the yard with the others in pots for now.

Banana streak virus. Pretty much all mysore have them. If well cared for it should bear normal bunches and nothing to really worry about.

Thank you! Will it spread to other bananas? Any precautions that should be taken?

I'd try searching the org for more on it. I know it's been discussed. Has never spread to any of my others and all my mysore have it.

It is possible it can spread to other plants, but is rare in most instances. It spreads by mealybugs, so if you don't see any mealybugs, then it is unlikely be an issue. Like Rob said, it is not so serious and there is no way of curing it or getting a healthy plant really, but it normally doesn't affect the plants very much (at least for Mysore).
