Blood Disease in banana plant is mainly insect transmitted.  (Note.186, May2007, Department of Agriculture and Food, Australia).

 “There is evidence that this disease is probably transmitted by insects visiting the male flowers. The cultivar Pisang Kepok (ABB group) in Indonesia is thought to be highly susceptible because the male flower nectar has high sugar content , making it particularly attractive to insects that spread the bacterium from male bud to male bud. Following this route of infection , blackening and shrivelling of male flowers is frequently found. Then , the bacteria move into the fruit and cause a reddish dry rot of the pulp. Afterwards the bacteria move down into the pseudostem towards the suckers. As the disease progress all leaves became gradually yellow and necrotic (Stover & Espinoza 1992) , then wilt , collapse and hang down. Red to brown necrotic marks are seen towards the centre of the pseudostem and/or peduncle when cut transversely. The male bud below the fruit may ooze droplets , especially from flower and bract scars in those genotypes that shed flowers and bracts.”
