Summary: Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam) is the causative agent of cassava bacterial blight (CBB), a worldwide disease that is particularly destructive in South America and Africa. CBB is controlled essentially through the use of resistant varieties. To develop an appropriate disease m...

Strains of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vignicola (Xcv), isolated from cowpea leaves with blight or minute pustules and collected from various geographic areas, were selected on the basis of pathological and physiological features. All strains were analyzed for genotypic markers by two methods: rib...

DNA polymorphism and variation in virulence of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam), the causal agent of cassava bacterial blight, were studied within a pathogen population from Venezuela. Collections were made in several fields at different sites within an edaphoclimatic zone where cassava...

Genetic and pathogenic variation of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis in Venezuela
Cassava bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis, is of significant concern wherever cassava is grown. The movement of infected, asymptomatic stems is a major means of pathogen dispersal. A reliable and sensitive diagnostic procedure is necessary for the safe movement of c...
