A survey in Senegal and Guinea Conakry established the presence and incidence of cassava mosaic virus disease (CMD) in both countries. CMD occurred in all the fields surveyed, although its incidence was higher in Senegal (83%) than in Guinea (64%). Populations of the whitefly vector, Bemisia taba...

Whiteflies are a key pest of crops in open-field production throughout the tropics andsubtropics. This is due in large part to the long and diverse list of devastating plantviruses transmitted by these vectors. Open-field production provides many challengesto manage these viruses and in many case...

Cassava mosaic disease and cassava brown streak disease are caused by viruses transmitted by Bemisia tabaci and affect approximately half of all cassava plants in Africa, resulting in annual production losses of more than $US 1 billion. A historical and current bias towards virus rather than vect...

Two Asian whiteflies, Aleurotrachelus tuberculatus Singh 1933 and Aleuroclava psidii (Singh 1931), are recorded for the first time in Africa. Both species were found on Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae) in the Coast and Dar es Salaam regions of Tanzania. It is not possible to determine when these sp...

Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae), one of the most economically important agricultural pests worldwide, is the vector of cassava mosaic geminiviruses that cause cassava mosaic disease (CMD). In East and Central Africa, a severe CMD pandemic that spread from Uganda in the late 19...

After 2007, upsurges of whiteflies on cassava plants and high incidences of cassava diseases were observed in Central African Republic. This recent upsurge in the abundance of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) was directly linked to serious damage to cassava crops resulting from...

Cassava mosaic begomoviruses (CMBs) cause cassava mosaic disease (CMD) across Africa and the Indian subcontinent. Like all members of the geminivirus family, CMBs have small, circular single-stranded DNA genomes. We report here the discovery of two novel DNA sequences, designated SEGS-1 and SEGS-...

During the 1990s, an epidemic of cassava mosaic virus disease caused major losses to cassava production in Uganda. Two factors associated with the epidemic were the occurrence of a novel recombinant begomovirus, EACMV-Ug, and unusually high populations of the whitefly vector, Bemisia tabaci. Here...

Surveys of the incidence of African cassava mosaic disease (ACMD) and its whitefly vector, Bernisiu tabaci, were made at three-month intervals in 1992 and 1993 along two South-North transects. One was in central and the other in eastern Uganda. ACMD incidence was high within the northern localiti...
