Yam leaves were collected during surveys of major yam producing agro-ecological zones (AEZs) in Ghana (n = 628) and Togo (n = 218) respectively, in 2005. Leaf tissues were tested for Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Dioscorea mottle virus (DMoV), Yam mild mosaic virus (YMMV), Yam mosaic virus (YMV) a...

Survey of the incidence and distribution of viruses infecting yam (Dioscorea spp.) in Ghana and Togo
Surveys were conducted in 2004 and 2005 to determine the incidence and
distribution of viruses infecting yams in fourmajor yam-producing agro-ecological
zones in Benin. Yam leaves collected from 69 fields and one experimental
screen house were indexed for Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Dioscorea
mo...

A Nigerian isolate of Yam mosaic virus (YMV), genus Potyvirus from Dioscorea rotundata leaves was used to mechanically inoculate Nicotiana benthamiana (propagation host) plants from which the virus was purified. A hybridoma cell line secreting a monoclonal antibody (Mab) against YMV was produced ...

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) caused by African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) and East African cassava mosaic Cameroon virus (EACMCV) is the major constraint to cassava production in Nigeria. Sequences of the DNA-A component of ACMV and EACMCV isolates from leguminous plant species (Senna occidental...
A virus, 750 /I > 18 nm, was isolated from Centrosema pubescens from Nigeria, causing leaf malformation, mosaic and mottling on the plant. When inoculated on to various test plants, it failed to produce necrotic or chlorotic lesions on Chenopodium amaranticolor, but symptoms of mottling were obs...

Virus diseases of herbaceous legumes have been relatively little studied even though the legumes play an important role in the maintenance of soil fertility and pest/disease management as well as providing fodder in sub-Saharan Africa. Leaf samples exhibiting virus-like symptoms from nine herbace...

Streak disease of banana and plantain caused by banana streak virus (BSV) was first reported in the Ivory Coast in 1974 and occurs in at least 16 countries in Africa. Based on genomic characteristics, BSV has been shown to be a member of genus Badnavirus. Efficient and reliable diagnostic methods...
