Neuenschwander, P.Hughes, J.Ogbe, F.Ngatse, J.Legg, J.P.[Occurrence of the Uganda variant of East African cassava mosaic virus (EACMVUg) in western Democratic Republic of Congo and the Congo Republic defines the westernmost extent of the CMD pandemic in East/Central Africa]Occurrence of the Uganda variant of East African cassava mosaic virus (EACMVUg) in western Democratic Republic of Congo and the Congo Republic defines the westernmost extent of the CMD pandemic in East/Central Africa

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), now known to be caused by cassava mosaic geminiviruses (Family Geminiviridae; Genus Begomovirus), was first reported in East Africa in 1894. Epidemics occurred in Madagascar and Uganda in the 1930s and 1940s, and more localised rapid spread of CMD was observed in par...


Legg, J.P.Thresh, J.M.[Cassava mosaic virus disease in East Africa: a dynamic disease in a changing environment]Cassava mosaic virus disease in East Africa: a dynamic disease in a changing environment

Cassava is the third largest source of carbohydrates for human food in the world but is vulnerable to virus diseases, which threaten to destabilize food security in sub-Saharan Africa. Novel methods of cassava disease detection are needed to support improved control which will prevent this crisis...


Ramcharan, A.Baranowski, K.McCloskey, P.Ahmed, B.Legg, J.P.Hughes, D.P.[Deep learning for image-based cassava disease detection]Deep learning for image-based cassava disease detection

Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) has emerged as the most important viral disease of cassava (Manihot esculenta) in Africa and is a major threat to food security. CBSD is caused by two distinct species of ipomoviruses, Cassava brown streak virus and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus, belonging...


Patil, B.L.Legg, J.P.Kanju, E.Fauquet, Claude M.[Cassava brown streak disease: a threat to food security in Africa]Cassava brown streak disease: a threat to food security in Africa

The effect of cassava mosaic virus disease (CMD) was compared on plants grown from cuttings that were initially virus-free at planting and those infected with a mild strain of East African cassava mosaic virus-Uganda (EACMV-UG). All initially healthy plants developed CMD symptoms within 5 months ...


Owor, B.Legg, J.P.Okao‐Okuja, G.Obonyo, R.Kyamanywa, S.Ogenga‐Latigo, M.W.[Field studies of cross protection with cassava Mosaic Geminiviruses in Uganda]Field studies of cross protection with cassava Mosaic Geminiviruses in Uganda

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), arguably Africa's greatest plant protection problem, has been known to occur in central/West Africa for more than 70 years. There is, however, no published record of the occurrence of CMD or the cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs) that cause it from the central Afric...


Legg, J.P.Ndjelassili, F.Okao-Okuja, G.[First report of cassava mosaic disease and cassava mosaic geminiviruses in Gabon]First report of cassava mosaic disease and cassava mosaic geminiviruses in Gabon
Autor: Legg, J.P.

Studies were undertaken to investigate host relationships of populations of Bemisiu tubuci taken from the major crop hosts in Uganda. B. tubuci adults taken from cotton and sweet potato did not colonize cassava. None survived for longer than two days and nymphs emerging from eggs laid on cassava ...


Legg, J.P.[Host associated strains within Ugandan populations of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Genn.), (Hom., Aleyrodidae)]Host associated strains within Ugandan populations of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Genn.), (Hom., Aleyrodidae)

Surveys of the incidence of African cassava mosaic disease (ACMD) and its whitefly vector, Bernisiu tabaci, were made at three-month intervals in 1992 and 1993 along two South-North transects. One was in central and the other in eastern Uganda. ACMD incidence was high within the northern localiti...

Whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) are important insect pests causing serious damage to plants and transmitting hundreds of plant viruses. Climate change is expected to influence life history and trophic interactions among plants, whiteflies and their natural enemies. Here, we review the potenti...
