The greatest current threat to cassava in sub-Saharan Africa, is the continued expansion of plant virus pandemics being driven by super-abundant populations of the whitefly vector, Bemisia tabaci. To track the association of putatively genetically distinct populations of B. tabaci with pandemics ...

Successful innovations and lessons learnt in cassava improvement and deployment by IITA in Eastern African Region
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is the most important constraint to cassava (Manihot esculenta) production in Africa. Since the 1990s, the importance of the disease has been greatly increased by the spread through East and Central Africa of a pandemic of unusually severe CMD (Legg, 1999), associated...
