Epidemiological assessment of cassava mosaic disease in Burkina Faso [PDF]
Plant Pathology, Volume 70, Issue 9, Page 2207-2216, December 2021., 2021 Cassava mosaic disease is widespread in Africa. In Burkina Faso, we assessed the main epidemiological parameters and characterized the major viruses associated with the disease. Abstract Surveys were conducted in 2016 and 2017 across the main cassava‐growing regions of Burkina Faso to assess the status of cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and to determine ...

South West and North Central Nigeria: Assessment of cassava mosaic disease and field status of African cassava mosaic virus and East African cassava mosaic virus [PDF]
Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 178, Issue 3, Page 466-479, May 2021., 2021 Abstract Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), caused by cassava mosaic begomoviruses (CMBs), is a major threat to cassava production in Nigeria. The predominant CMBs in Nigeria are African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV), East African cassava mosaic virus (EACMV) and East African cassava mosaic Cameroon virus (EACMCV), which are transmitted through infected stem ...
