The ecology of the Bemisia tabaci/cassava/African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) pathosystem is reviewed briefly with special attention given to the parameters affecting the pattern of population development of B. tabaci. Significant gaps in our understanding of this system remain, particularly conc...

Bemisia tabaci: the whitefly vector of cassava mosaic geminiviruses in Africa: an ecological perspective
Cassava is an important crop in many parts of the tropics, but it plays a particularly vital role in sustaining
food security in sub-Saharan Africa. Diseases are the greatest biotic constraint to cassava production worldwide.
Although the diversity of cassava pathogens is greatest in Latin Americ...
The Ipomovirus genus in the family Potyviridae contains five species: Sweet potato mild mottle virus (SPMMV), Squash vein yellowing virus (SqVYV), Cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV), Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV), and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV). Sequencing and analysis of To...
