In a survey for cassava mosaic begomoviruses conducted in 1997 and 1998 in Nigeria, East African cassava mosaic virus (EACMV) was detected by the polymerase chain reaction together with African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) in 27 out of 290 cassava leaf samples of infected plants from 254 farmers' ...

To determine the occurrence of variants of African cassava mosaic virus, 316 cassava leaf samples were collected from mosaic-affected cassava plants in 254 farmers. fields in 1997 and 1998, covering the humid forest, coastal/derived, southern Guinea and northern Guinea savannas and arid and semi-...

Cassava leaf harvesting as vegetables: a cause of vulnerability of cassava plants to cassava mosaic disease and eventual yield reduction
The current status of cassava Begomoviruses, the most serious constraint to the production of cassava, a major staple food crop in sub-Saharan Africa, is reviewed in relation to their distribution, effects, etiology, and epidemiology. It is concluded that control of the diseases would continue to...

(ACMV) were assessed in shoots regenerated from single-node cuttings of three cassava genotypes differing in resistance to ACMV. Plants of the moderately resistant TMS 4(2)1425 and susceptible TMS 60506 did not recover from the disease as rapidly as those of the resistant TMS 30001, Recovery was ...
