A ribodepletion and tagging protocol to multiplex samples for RNA-seq based virus detection: application to the cassava virome [PDF]

Virology Journal
Background Cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz), is a staple food and the main source of calories for many populations in Africa, but the plant is beset by several damaging viruses.

Whitefly species efficiency in transmitting cassava mosaic and brown streak virus diseases

Cogent Biology, 2017
Whiteflies are vectors of plant viral diseases. The rate of disease transmission by whiteflies on cassava continue to present a complex of efficiency in relation to species diversity.

Molecular Diversity and Distribution of Whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) in Cassava Fields Across South West and North Central, Nigeria [PDF]

Insects
Whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadium, Hemiptera) causes severe damage to cassava plants through excessive feeding on leaves and transmitting viruses, such as African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV), East African cassava mosaic virus (EACMV), and ipomoviruses ...

Cassava brown streak virus disease: Past, present and future. [PDF]

, 2002
Cassava has been an important success story in Africa's developing agriculture over the past decade. The crop's inherei'lt capacity to cope with marginal growing conditions and unpredictable rainfall, coupled with determined efforts of a number of countries to move away from over-reliance on maize, have helped establish it as the continent's number one

Cassava brown streak: A deadly virus on the move

Plant Pathology, 2023
Abstract The beginning of the 21st century witnessed a vast and devastating upsurge in the incidence and spread of cassava brown streak ipomovirus disease (CBSD) in eastern countries of sub‐Saharan Africa that decimated crops and jeopardized food security in the region.

Targeting dCas9-SunTag to a Susceptibility Gene Promoter Is Sufficient for CRISPR Interference. [PDF]

Plant Direct
ABSTRACT Cassava production in sub‐Saharan Africa is severely impacted by diseases. Most pathogens require interaction with host susceptibility factors to complete their life cycles and cause disease. Targeted DNA methylation is an epigenetic strategy to alter gene expression in plants, and we previously reported that a zinc‐finger fused to DMS3 could ...

High-Throughput Virus Screening in Crosses of South American and African Cassava Germplasm Reveals Broad-Spectrum Resistance against Viruses Causing Cassava Brown Streak Disease and Cassava Mosaic Virus Disease

Agronomy, 2022
Screening cassava lines for resistance against viruses causing cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is cumbersome because of the unpredictable and erratic virus infections in the slow plant infection processes that are frequently not associated with ...

Occurrence of cassava brown streak disease and associated Cassava brown streak virus and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus in the Comoros Islands [PDF]

New Disease Reports, 2017
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) has emerged as the most important viral disease of cassava (Manihot esculenta) in Africa and is a major threat to food security. The expanding CBSD epidemic in East and Central Africa is caused by two…
