Disassembly of African cassava mosaic virus

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 2008
The plant-infecting geminiviruses encapsidate their single-stranded DNA genome in characteristic twinned particles that are unique among viruses. These particles are formed by joining two incomplete T=1 icosahedra. African cassava mosaic virions were purified by density-gradient centrifugation from infected Nicotiana benthamiana plants and analysed for

Evolution of African cassava mosaic virus by recombination between bipartite and monopartite begomoviruses

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2012
Background Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is a major constraint on cassava cultivation in Africa. The disease is endemic and is caused by seven distinct cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs), some of them including several variants.

Biotechnological approaches to determine the impact of viruses in the energy crop plant Jatropha curcas

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2011
Background Geminiviruses infect a wide range of plant species including Jatropha and cassava both belonging to family Euphorbiaceae. Cassava is traditionally an important food crop in Sub - Saharan countries, while Jatropha is considered as valuable ...

Fitness costs associated with infections of secondary endosymbionts in the cassava whitefly species Bemisia tabaci [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We investigated the dual effects of bacterial infections and diseased cassava plants on the fitness and biology of the Bemisia tabaci infesting cassava in Africa. Isofemale B.

Incidence of cassava mosaic disease and associated whitefly vectors in South West and North Central Nigeria: Data exploration

open access: yesData in Brief, 2018
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is one of the most economically important viral diseases of cassava, an important staple food for over 800 million people in the tropics.

Exploiting the combination of natural and genetically engineered resistance to cassava mosaic and cassava brown streak viruses impacting cassava production in Africa. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD) are currently two major viral diseases that severely reduce cassava production in large areas of Sub-Saharan Africa. Natural resistance has so far only been reported for CMD in cassava.

Alternate hosts of African cassava mosaic virus and East African cassava mosaic Cameroon virus in Nigeria

open access: yesArchives of Virology, 2008
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) caused by African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) and East African cassava mosaic Cameroon virus (EACMCV) is the major constraint to cassava production in Nigeria. Sequences of the DNA-A component of ACMV and EACMCV isolates from leguminous plant species (Senna occidentalis, Leucana leucocephala and Glycine max), castor oil ...

Multiplex PCR for the detection of African cassava mosaic virus and East African cassava mosaic Cameroon virus in cassava

open access: yesJournal of Virological Methods, 2008
A multiplex PCR was developed for simultaneous detection of African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) and East African cassava mosaic Cameroon virus (EACMCV) in cassava affected with cassava mosaic disease (CMD). One set of three primers consisting of an upstream primer common for both viruses and two down stream virus-specific primers were designed for ...

Genome segment ratios change during whitefly transmission of two bipartite cassava mosaic begomoviruses

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Cassava mosaic disease is caused by a complex of whitefly-transmitted begomoviruses, which often occur in co-infections. These viruses have bipartite genomes consisting of DNA-A and DNA-B that are encapsidated into separate virions.
