In Central America the disease is present in Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, and British Honduras. In South America it occurs in Surinam and British Guiana; there is no evidence of its existence in the large banana-growing districts of Colombia, which are irrigated.

In South America it occurs in Surinam and British Guiana; there is no evidence of its existence in the large banana-growing districts of Colombia, which are irrigated. In India a disease which appears to correspond in all respects with Panama disease is recorded as exterminating one kind of banana in a district of Bengal, while a disease different in its symptoms, but caused by a species of Fusarium has been described from Pusa. Affections similar in their nature to Panama disease occur in the Hawaiian Islands, Australia and the Dutch East Indies, and in the first named the identity of the fungus with Fusarium cubense has been established.
