Cassava disease detection using a lightweight modified soft attention network. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
The main framework of the proposed CDDNet approach. Abstract BACKGROUND Cassava is a high‐carbohydrate crop that is at risk of viral infections. The production rate and quality of cassava crops are affected by several diseases. However, the manual identification of diseases is challenging and requires considerable time because of the lack of field ...

Farmer and Field Survey in Cassava-Growing Districts of Rwanda Reveals Key Factors Associated With Cassava Brown Streak Disease Incidence and Cassava Productivity

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a vital crop in Rwanda where it ranks as the third most consumed staple. However, cassava productivity remains below its yield potential due to several constraints, including important viral diseases, such as cassava

‘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

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
