The disease has been emerged as a major problem in some of the Asian countries including Bangladesh. Bakanae is becoming a serious threat to sustainable rice production in Bangladesh particularly in the northeastern part of the country and accounted for causing up to 25% yield losses. The disease has become difficult to manage due to lacking appropriate disease diagnosis. <em>Fusarium fujikuroi </em>mainly caused this disease but other <em>Fusarium </em>species are also reported to be involved for causing this disease. It, therefore, is crucial to understand the association of <em>Fusarium </em>species with Bakanae disease for sustainable rice disease management in Bangladesh.</p><p>Asian J. Med. Biol. Res.
