From what I read, yes it can. However, that does not account for the effects of processing the seeds, whether by fermentation or oxidation. I am going to buy an immersion cooker soon so I can give my seeds a hot water bath as well. I can't imagine the fusarium surviving both oxidation and the hot water bath. None of the seeds I started of my own showed any sign of the disease until I put them in the ground. I am thinking that if my seed was contaminated, I would have seen signs of it before then.
