Abstract
Banana Xanthomonas wilt is currently wrecking havoc in East and Central Africa. In this paper, a novel theoretical model for the transmission of banana Xanthomonas wilt by insect vectors is formulated and analyzed. The model incorporates roguing of infected plants and replanting using healthy suckers. The model is analyzed for the existence and stability of the equilibrium points. The global stability of the disease-free equilibrium point was determined by using a Lyapunov function and LaSalle's invariance principle. For the global stability of the endemic equilibrium point, the theory of competitive systems, compound matrices and stability of periodic orbits were used. It was established that if the basic reproduction number satisfies $R_0 \leq 1$, the disease-free equilibrium point is globally stable and the disease will be wiped out and if $R_0 > 1,$ the endemic equilibrium is stable and the disease persists. A numerical simulation of the model was also carried out. It was found out that at appropriate roguing and replanting, the disease can be contained.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
