We had the Bunching Top virus hit ours (in Keaau) a couple of years ago (the County will take care of your plants if you have this, DO NOT take them to the green waste OR compsot them at home, the aphids will infect more plants in the area). This virus caused die off of our banana plants.
The BT virus causes a very distinctive 'hockey sticking' of the leaf veins. rather than extending straight out from the center of the vein in parallel straight lines, they have a curve downward near the central vein.
