Computational models for improving surveillance for the early detection of direct introduction of cassava brown streak disease in Nigeria. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Cassava is a key source of calories for smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa but its role as a food security crop is threatened by the cross-continental spread of cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) that causes high yield losses.

Genome-wide association mapping and genomic prediction unravels CBSD resistance in a Manihot esculenta breeding population

bioRxiv, 2017
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), a key carbohydrate dietary source for millions of people in Africa, faces severe yield loses due to two viral diseases: cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD).

Alternative Approaches for Assessing Cassava Brown Streak Root Necrosis to Guide Resistance Breeding and Selection

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) caused by the rapidly evolving cassava brown streak viruses (CBSVs), causes immense yield losses to the cassava value chain in eastern and southern Africa. Western Africa, another region that heavily depends on cassava

Characterization of Brown Streak Virus–Resistant Cassava [PDF]

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2016
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) has become a major constraint to cassava production in East and Central Africa. The identification of new sources of CBSD resistance is essential to deploy CBSD mitigation strategies, as the disease is progressing ...

‘Dementia risk reduction in the African context: Multi‐national implementation of multimodal strategies to promote healthy brain aging in Africa (the Africa‐FINGERS project) [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract Background Dementia is a growing global health crisis, with over 150 million cases projected by 2050, disproportionately affecting low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), particularly Africa. Despite evidence that up to 40% of dementia cases could be prevented by addressing modifiable risk factors, there remains a critical lack of culturally

Structural and social determinants of dementia risk among adults racialized as Black: Results from a community-based system dynamics approach. [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) disproportionately affect Black Americans compared to non‐Hispanic White individuals. We examined perceived dementia risk factors among Black adults in St. Louis via a participatory approach. METHODS In 36 community‐based system dynamics workshops (CBSD), 234 participants co‐created

Survey of cassava mosaic and brown streak diseases and their vector whiteflies in Malawi [PDF]

Discover Agriculture
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) are the two major threats to cassava production in eastern and southern Africa. There have been several interventions over the years in the fight against the two diseases. Whether these

Progression of Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD) in infected cassava roots in Uganda

, 2012
Cassava Brown Streak disease (CBSD) has and continues to be a major threat to the cassava industry in Uganda. The most economically damaging symptom of CBSD occurs on the roots as a yellow/brown, corky necrosis. However, the onset and development of this
