Interesting article. For some reason I did not realise the French named it or brought it to the Caribbean! At least, according to this article from 1990:
Battling for Bananas, Alaska Science Forum
Has there ever been any sort of figuring out with what the purpose of Black Sigatoka and Panama disease is for? Meaning, if it weren't for bananas, what else did or does it attack/kill/do?
Hope that makes sense.
