As a case study to document the current characteristics of cassava mosaic virus disease (CMD) in post epidemic areas, surveys were carried out, in 2003 and2004, in Siaya District of western Kenya. This was an area affected by a severe CMD pandemic in the late 1990s. Data recorded on cassava varie...

Current characteristics of cassava mosaic in postepidemic areas increase the range of possible management options
A study was carried out to assess the effect of different cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs) occurring in Uganda on the growth and yield of the susceptible local cultivar ‘Ebwanateraka’. Plants infected with African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV), ‘mild’ and ‘severe’ strains of East African cassava...

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is the most important constraint to cassava (Manihot esculenta) production in Africa. Since the 1990s, the importance of the disease has been greatly increased by the spread through East and Central Africa of a pandemic of unusually severe CMD (Legg, 1999), associated...

The effect of cassava mosaic virus disease (CMD) was compared on plants grown from cuttings that were initially virus-free at planting and those infected with a mild strain of East African cassava mosaic virus-Uganda (EACMV-UG). All initially healthy plants developed CMD symptoms within 5 months ...
