Survey of cassava mosaic and brown streak diseases and their vector whiteflies in Malawi

Discover Agriculture
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) are the two major threats to cassava production in eastern and southern Africa. There have been several interventions over the years in the fight against the two diseases. Whether these

Molecular characterization of cassava brown streak viruses in Mozambique

, 2014
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) caused by two distinct ssRNA virus species (CBSV and UCBSV of genus Ipomovirus, family Potyviridae) and transmitted by whitefly (Bemisia tabaci), is a major constraint to cassava production in Africa, including ...

DataSheet_1_Alternative Approaches for Assessing Cassava Brown Streak Root Necrosis to Guide Resistance Breeding and Selection.xls

, 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

Table_1_Resistance Against Cassava Brown Streak Viruses From Africa in Cassava Germplasm From South America.DOCX

, 2019
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is a severe virus disease of cassava and prevalent in the eastern regions of Africa. The disease is characterized by distinct vein chlorosis and streak symptoms on leaves and stems and necrosis of storage roots.

Expansion of the cassava brown streak disease epidemic in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

, 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),

Unlocking cassava brown streak deisease resistance in cassava: insights from genetic variability and combining ability

Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) threatens cassava production in sub-Saharan Africa despite the availability of resistant varieties. Extreme environmental factors weaken plant defenses, reducing CBSD resistance. This study examined CBSD inheritance in
