Banana bunchy top disease was identified for the first time in New Caledonia in June 1999. The disease was found only on the south part of the main island, mainly in residential areas and infrequently in commercial banana plantations. Infected plants showed obvious, typical symptoms and an eradication campaign is being undertaken.
