A total of 99 cassava genotypes whose field reaction to cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) was known, were assayed with 30 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to establish their genetic parallels. Two categories of CBSD reaction were considered: CBSD-susceptible genotypes (characterized by > 60% root and foliar CBSD incidence), and CBSD-tolerant ...

The Symptom and Genetic Diversity of Cassava Brown Streak Viruses Infecting Cassava in East Africa
The genetic and symptom diversity of six virus isolates causing cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) in the endemic (Kenya, Mozambique, and Tanzania) and the recently affected epidemic areas (Uganda) of eastern Africa was studied.

Rotten Inedible Tubers: The Case of Cassava Brown Streak Disease
This case study is based in Africa, where cassava is a key food security crop, and focuses on the gravity of the threat that cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) poses to resource-poor cassava growers.

Virus-host interactions in the cassava brown streak disease pathosystem [PDF]
The research seeks to understand the virus-host plant interactions for cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) caused by two viruses, Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan Cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV) of the genus Ipomovirus, family Potyviridae.

Cassava brown streak disease effects on leaf metabolites and pigment accumulation
Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD) is a threat to productivity and product quality in East Africa. The objective of this study was to understand the effect of CBSD on the primary photosynthetic apparatus of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). Three cassava varieties with varying levels of reaction to infection by CBSD were chosen and subjected to ...
