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

Multiplex PCR for the detection of African cassava mosaic virus and East African cassava mosaic Cameroon virus in cassava
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 occidental...
African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV; genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae) is one of six viruses documented in cassava (Manihot
esculenta Crantz.) plants showing cassava mosaic disease in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In addition to cassava, the natural host range of
ACMV includes a few wild Maniho...

UPoCA (Unleashing the Power of Cassava in Africa) was part of the long-term, international effort to manage the food price crisis (which started in 2008). The project shared 59 new cassava varieties with at least 11,540 smallholders across seven African countries. The project worked with sub-cont...
