A multiplex PCR was developed for simultaneous detection of African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) and
East African cassava mosaic Cameroon virus (EACMCV) in cassava affected with cassava mosaic disease
(CMD). One set of three primers consisting of an upstream primer common for both viruses and two

Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera),
commonly known as legume pod borer, is a major insect
pest of legume crops in the semi-arid tropics. A baculovirus
of type nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) was isolated from this
insect during natural epizootics at ICRISAT. Patancheru
(Andhra Prad...

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...
During routine surveys conducted from February to July 2015 in the northern guinea savannah
region of Nigeria, sugarcane and itch grass (Rottboellia cochinchinensis) plants showing virus-like
mosaic symptoms were encountered in farmers’ sugarcane fields in Kaduna State. Symptomatic
leaf tissue sa...
African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV; genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae) is one of six viruses documented in cassava (Manihot
esculenta Crantz.) plants showing cassava mosaic disease in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In addition to cassava, the natural host range of
ACMV includes a few wild Maniho...
