Panama disease is really only common in the US in South Florida (the other races), if I were you I would not worry about it at all. If it were somehow introduced into your yard, it would be easy to spot the infected plants and destroy them. The real problem is when they have thousands of acres planted and have to keep track of all the plants. Race 4 is not even in the US yet and if proper precautions are taken then it never will be.
