Historically, wheat blast has not been prevalent in India. However, it has been detected in neighboring Bangladesh in 2016 and has spread to other continents like South America and Africa, suggesting a potential threat to India. Recent reports from April 2023 indicate the fungus responsible for wheat blast (Magnaporthe oryzae) has spread to three continents and may pose a global threat. https://www.economist.com/the-world-ahead/2023/11/13/the-next-pandemic-could-hit-global-crop-supplies
