Cassava Mosaic and Brown Streak Diseases: Current Perspectives and Beyond

open access: yesAnnual Review of Virology, 2017
Cassava is the fourth largest source of calories in the world but is subject to economically important yield losses due to viral diseases, including cassava brown streak disease and cassava mosaic disease. Cassava mosaic disease occurs in sub-Saharan Africa and the Asian subcontinent and is associated with nine begomovirus species, whereas cassava ...

Cassava brown streak disease in northern Mozambique

International Journal of Pest Management, 2002
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) of cassava ( Manihot esculenta ) caused by cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) has been known in Tanzania since the 1930s, but has not been recorded previously in Mozambique. A virus disease survey of cassava was undertaken, therefore, in 1999 in Zambezia and Nampula Provinces, which are the main areas of production in

Cassava brown streak disease: A review of present knowledge and research needs

International Journal of Pest Management, 2003
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important subsistence food crop in Africa where it is affected by two main virus diseases, cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD). CMD occurs in all the cassava-growing countries on the continent and it has been much researched.

Effects of Brown Streak Virus Disease on Yield and Quality of Cassava in Tanzania

Journal of Phytopathology, 2001
AbstractBrown streak virus disease is the most important biotic constraint to cassava production in the coastal areas of southern Tanzania. Symptoms include foliar chlorosis and sometimes stem lesions. The disease also affects the tuberous roots which develop a yellow/brown, dry, corky necrosis within the starch‐bearing tissues, sometimes accompanied ...

Cassava brown streak viruses (cassava brown streak disease).

2021
Abstract CBSD was formerly of limited importance in Africa as a whole because of its restricted distribution along lowland coastal areas of Kenya and Tanzania and in parts of Malawi (Legg and Raya, 1998; Hillocks et al., 2001; Gondwe et al., 2003; Shaba et al., 2003).

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification for rapid detection of the causal agents of cassava brown streak disease

open access: yesJournal of Virological Methods, 2013
The causal agents of cassava brown streak disease have recently been identified as Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV). Primers have been developed for rapid detection of these viruses by reverse transcription
