Yes it will, If the disease is present then the scissors will act as a transfer device between which ever banana mats they come in contact with or any other plant that they touch. That is why like a doctor does you should always may sure they are sterile after each cut. Like dipped in alcohol. I used the same pruning shears to prune back my apple trees and spread black spot disease all over on them and I just missed killing my trees.
