Cassava plays a key role in the food security of sub-Saharan Africa, but as a vegetatively propagated crop, it is particularly vulnerable to the effects of virus diseases and these therefore represent a major threat to the livelihoods of millions of Africans. Nine viruses have been isolated from ...
Recent and current efforts at IITA to assess risks due to the various biotic stresses, arthropod pests and diseases, are presented for different cropping systems. In the case of cassava arthropod pests, the focus is on temperature-mediated interactions between the pest and its natural enemy which...

A countrywide survey on cassava constraints in D.R. Congo was initiated in 2002 and completed in 2004 with the aim of assessing the health status of cassava in various agro-ecological zones of the 11 provinces of the country. The survey permitted to update the list of diseases and pests that cont...

La mouche blanche (Bemisia tabaci) est le vecteur de la mosaïque et de la striure brune du manioc. Sa population a toujours été faible dans les champs de manioc. En plus, cet insecte trés polyphage, n'avait jamais constitué d'une manière directe, une menace réelle à la culture du manioc en Afriqu...
