, 2019 We illustrate the process undertaken to inform surveillance for cassava brown streak disease (CBSD). CBSD is currently the most devastating cassava pathogen in East, central and southern Africa affecting a staple crop for over 700 million people on the continent and posing a major threat to West Africa. The process involved the following steps: firstly

Global Cassava Germplasm Resources: Industrial and Technological Development
Food and Energy Security, Volume 14, Issue 5, September/October 2025.ABSTRACT The main cassava‐producing regions include Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, and China. Due to significant differences in natural environments, industrial backgrounds, and technological resources for germplasm development across these regions, the utilization of cassava germplasm resources shows regional variation.
