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' ...

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...

In order to ascertain the presence, incidence, and distribution of Citrus
tristeza virus (CTV), extensive surveys were conducted in citrus growing areas of
south-western Nigeria during 2011-12. A total of 565 citrus trees were sampled in
three states. Leaf samples were collected and symptom inten...
