dc.description.abstract	Banana is the fourth most important food crop worldwide. However, its production has been threatened by banana streak disease, caused by banana streak virus (BSV). Despite this situation, little is known about the inter-relationships between symptom severity and cultivar/virus genotypes. Symptom severity assessment for sixty five symptomatic samples was carefully done. The rolling circle amplification technique was used to identify the virus species (isolate) infecting each sample. The Mysore virus isolates (BSMysV) and the banana cultivars containing the balbisiana (B) component were associated with the most severe banana streak disease symptoms.	en_US
