- Observation Two naturally occurring races of the Panama disease fungus were identified.
- Observation Race 1 is worldwide and attacks certain AAA triploids of Musa acuminata and Musa textilis.
- Observation Race 1 also attacks Musa textilis.
- Observation Race 2 attacks certain ABB triploids of M. acuminata × M. balbisiana in the listed Caribbean and Central American locations.
- Observation Both races are pathogenic on young M. balbisiana seedlings, with race 2 less pathogenic than race 1.
- Observation Both races are pathogenic on young M. schizocarpa seedlings.
- Observation Both races are pathogenic on young M. acuminata ssp. banksii seedlings.
- Observation Mature M. balbisiana was immune to field rhizome infection.
- Observation Odoratum and Inodoratum fungal cultivars occurred within race 1.
- Observation Only the Inodoratum fungal cultivar occurred in race 2.
- Observation Circumstantial evidence suggested independent origins of race 2 in different areas.
