Abstract
The genus, Babuvirus of the family Nanoviridae contains three virus species, Abaca bunchy top virus (ABTV), Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) and Cardamom bushy dwarf virus (CBDV). In India, only two babuviruses, BBTV and CBDV are known to affect banana and large cardamom, respectively. BBTV, which causes bunchy top disease in banana, is a nationally important virus as it is widely prevalent in all the banana growing states including North-East region. Whereas, CBDV, which causes foorkey disease of large cardamom, is of regional importance as it is restricted only in the North-Eastern sub-Himalayan mountains. Early infection of these babuviruses cause 100% yield loss. Bunchy top of banana and foorkey disease of large cardamom are known in India for a long time and considerable information has been generated. This chapter summarises the biological and molecular properties of both the babuviruses occurring in India.
