Reinfection Dynamics of Disease-Free Cassava Plants in Three Agroecological Regions of Côte d’Ivoire [PDF]

Viruses
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is caused by begomoviruses and can result in yield losses of up to 90% in susceptible varieties. Using disease-free planting material from in vitro cultures is one of the most effective ways of controlling this disease. A CMD
