Abstract
Viruses are major constraints to the production and exchange of banana and plantain (Musa spp.) germplasm in the world. Several viruses are recognized to affect Musa spp: Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV), Banana streak GF virus (BSGFV), Banana streak OL virus (BSOLV), Banana streak IM virus (BSIMV), Banana streak MY virus (BSMYV), Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Banana bract mosaic virus, (BBrMV). To date, in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), except BBTV, others banana viruses are not yet reported. The main aim of this work was to elucidate the epidemiological situation, genetic variability and origin of Musa spp. viruses in DRC.
