Cassava is infected by numerous geminiviruses in Africa and India that cause devastating losses to poor farmers. We here describe the molecular diversity of seven representative cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs) infecting cassava from multiple locations in Tanzania. We report for the first time...

Molecular biodiversity of cassava begomoviruses in Tanzania: evolution of cassava geminiviruses in Africa and evidence for East Africa being a center of diversity of cassava geminiviruses
Geminivirus defective interfering DNAs arise spontaneously in mechanically inoculated test plants, and have previously been found with DNA‐B of the bipartite cassava mosaic geminiviruses, but not DNA‐A. Reported here for the first time is the cloning and characterization of a naturally occurring ...

Background: Plant viral diseases present major constraints to crop production. Effective sampling of the viruses infecting plants is required to facilitate their molecular study and is essential for the development of crop protection and improvement programs. Retaining integrity of viral pathogen...
