Symptom severity of cassava mosaic disease in relation to concentration of African cassava mosaic virus in different cassava genotypes [PDF]
Plant Pathology, 2003 The concentration of African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) was assessed by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay in relation to symptom severity among resistant, moderately resistant and susceptible cassava genotypes. Resistant genotype NR 8083 had significantly lower symptom severity scores (

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 353-364, January 2026.Cassava is a lifeline for millions of people across the tropics, but its productivity is at risk from a disease called Cassava Bacterial Blight (CBB). In this study, we explore how the everyday practices of farmers exchanging cassava cuttings—a long‐standing tradition—can shape how the disease spreads and evolves in the Colombian Caribbean.

African Cassava Mosaic Disease
, 2008 Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), recognized in Africa for more than a century, is now known to be caused by a group of geminiviruses in the genus Begomovirus from the family Geminiviridae. All are transmitted in a persistent manner by the whitefly vector, Bemisia tabaci.

Resistance profile of improved cassava germplasm to cassava mosaic disease in Nigeria
Euphytica, 2006 Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) caused by a group of begomoviruses and transmitted by whitefly vector is a serious disease in all the cassava-growing areas of Africa. Field evaluation with replication was conducted in 2003 and 2004 in three agroecologies in Nigeria to study the response of 40 cassava genotypes to CMD and to investigate genotype ...

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Lemongrass essential oil (LGEO) has gained recognition as a natural preservative in food systems due to its distinctive phytochemical composition and multifunctional bioactivities. Dominated by citral and complemented by terpenes and phenolic compounds, LGEO demonstrates potent antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antibiofilm, and antioxidant

Advances in Public Health, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Lassa fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic illness caused by the Lassa virus and is mainly spread through direct and indirect human–rodent interaction. In Nigeria, Lassa fever outbreaks are becoming more frequent, and studies suggest that changes in climatic and ecological conditions will exacerbate these trends. It is crucial that health professionals

Evaluating the Efficacy of Convolutional Neural Networks: Disease Detection in Crops
Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Crop diseases pose a significant risk to agricultural productivity, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa, where cassava (Manihot esculenta), plantain (Musa paradisiaca), and cocoa (Theobroma cacao) serve as essential crops. There is an urgent need for innovative plant disease detection methods to enhance control measures and preventive strategies to ...

An analysis of viruses associated with cassava mosaic virus disease in three Angolan provinces
, 2012 Seventeen cassava plants showing strong cassava mosaic disease symptoms were sampled from three Angolan provinces. The DNA-A component of two isolates was amplified by rolling circle amplification (RCA) and characterized.

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study explored the variation in taro leaf blight disease (TLBD) in Colocasia esculenta by examining five parent genotypes and their corresponding 20 single‐cross hybrids. A full diallel crossing design was employed and assessed under both naturally occurring field infections and controlled artificial inoculations.
