African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development, 2015 Several etiological and epidemiological studies have been undertaken to determine the disease causal agent and the mechanism of spread of Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) . Until recently, two distinct potyviruses have been reported to cause the disease. These are Cassava brown streak virus (originated in Tanzania but most widely spread) and Ugandan

Metagenomics Analysis of Viruses Associated with Cassava Brown Streak Disease in Kenya [PDF]
VirusesCassava brown streak disease (CBSD), caused by cassava brown streak virus (CBSV; Ipomovirus brunusmanihotis) and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV; Ipomovirus manihotis) (family Potyviridae, genus Ipomovirus), is increasingly becoming a threat to

Cells, 2021 Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is a destructive disease of cassava in Eastern and Central Africa. Because there was no source of resistance in African varieties to provide complete protection against the viruses causing the disease, we searched in ...

Transcriptional response of virus-infected cassava and identification of putative sources of resistance for cassava brown streak disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a major food staple in sub-Saharan Africa, which is severely affected by cassava brown streak disease (CBSD). The aim of this study was to identify resistance for CBSD as well as to understand the mechanism of putative ...

A time series transcriptome analysis of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) varieties challenged with Ugandan cassava brown streak virus. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 AbstractA time-course transcriptome analysis of two cassava varieties that are either resistant or susceptible to cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) was conducted using RNASeq, after graft inoculation with Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV). From approximately 1.92 billion short reads, the largest number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs)
