Attempts to Identify Cassava Brown Streak Virus in Western Democratic Republic of Congo
Root necrosis similar to those of the cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) were observed on cassava in western provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR.Congo) in the early 2000’s. However molecular laboratory diagnosis were not able to detect any causative agent responsible for the attacks, hence, the disease related to these symptoms

Cassava disease detection using a lightweight modified soft attention network
The main framework of the proposed CDDNet approach. Abstract BACKGROUND Cassava is a high‐carbohydrate crop that is at risk of viral infections. The production rate and quality of cassava crops are affected by several diseases. However, the manual identification of diseases is challenging and requires considerable time because of the lack of field ...

Reprogrammed Plant Metabolism During Viral Infections: Mechanisms, Pathways and Implications
This review highlights how plant viruses reprogramme host metabolism, elucidates underlying mechanisms and discusses advanced antiviral strategies, including gene‐editing and metabolomics‐guided approaches. ABSTRACT Plant viruses pose a significant threat to global agriculture, leading to substantial crop losses that jeopardise food security and ...

Field evaluation of selected cassava genotypes for cassava brown streak disease based on symptom expression and virus load [PDF]
Background Production of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), a food security crop in sub-Saharan Africa, is threatened by the spread of cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) which manifests in part as a corky necrosis in the storage root.
