A dataset of cassava whitefly count images

Data in Brief, 2022
Whiteflies are insect vectors that affect a variety of plants such as tomatoes, cabbages, sweet potatoes, eggplants, and cassava. In Uganda, whiteflies are a major contributor to the spread of Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD).

Alternative Approaches for Assessing Cassava Brown Streak Root Necrosis to Guide Resistance Breeding and Selection

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) caused by the rapidly evolving cassava brown streak viruses (CBSVs), causes immense yield losses to the cassava value chain in eastern and southern Africa. Western Africa, another region that heavily depends on cassava

Unusual occurrence of a DAG motif in the Ipomovirus Cassava brown streak virus and implications for its vector transmission. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Cassava is the main staple food for over 800 million people globally. Its production in eastern Africa is being constrained by two devastating Ipomoviruses that cause cassava brown streak disease (CBSD); Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan ...

Analysis of cassava brown streak viruses reveals the presence of distinct virus species causing cassava brown streak disease in East Africa

Journal of General Virology, 2010
Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) isolates were analysed from symptomatic cassava collected between 1997 and 2008 in the major cultivation regions of East Africa. An analysis of complete RNA genomes of seven isolates from Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Uganda and Malawi revealed a common genome structure, but the isolates clearly clustered in two ...

Pro‐Vitamin A Biofortified Cavendish Banana: Trait Stability in the Field

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3327-3344, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Vitamin A deficiency (VAD), a major global health concern, has driven efforts to develop staple crops with enhanced pro‐vitamin A (pVA) content. Delivering meaningful nutritional benefits, however, requires technologies that maintain elevated carotenoid levels under field conditions. Previous proof‐of‐concept work demonstrated that pVA content

Expansion of the Cassava Brown Streak Disease Epidemic in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

Plant Disease, 2021
Cassava plays a key role in ensuring food security and generating income for smallholder farmers throughout Central Africa, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This status is threatened, however, by cassava brown streak disease (CBSD), which has expanded its incidence and range in eastern DRC. The study described here comprises the
