In a survey for cassava mosaic begomoviruses conducted in 1997 and 1998 in Nigeria, East African cassava mosaic virus (EACMV) was detected by the polymerase chain reaction together with African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) in 27 out of 290 cassava leaf samples of infected plants from 254 farmers' ...

Variants of East African cassava mosaic virus and its distribution in double infections with African cassava mosaic virus in Nigeria
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) caused by a group of begomoviruses and transmitted by whitefly vector is a serious disease in all the cassava-growing areas of Africa. Field evaluation with replication was conducted in 2003 and 2004 in three agroecologies in Nigeria to study the response of 40 cassav...

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) in Africa is caused by six distinct cassava mosaic viruses (family eminiviridae, genus Begomovirus). Among them, African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) and East African cassava mosaicCameroon virus (EACMCV) have been reported in CMD-infected cassava plants in Nigeria. Ba...

The identification of superior genotypes and mega-environments on the basis of multiple traits is a key objective of multi-environment trials in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). The objective of this study was to examine the genetic variation and genotype 3 environment interaction (GEI) effect...

Ten new cassava genotypes selected for high yield and tolerance to some biotic stresses were evaluated alongside the local best, Otupam and ‘TMS 30572\' (a widely cultivated hybrid genotype, as an improved check) for two cropping seasons with a view to obtaining suitable genotype(s) that could be...

Growth, yield and disease responses of 12 cassava genotypes evaluated for two cropping seasons in a derived savannah zone of southeastern Nigeria
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...
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is a widespread viral disease that causes high yield losses in susceptible genotypes in Sub-Saharan Africa. Effective control of CMD is beneficial and justifiable since cassava is an important source of carbohydrates for over 200 million people in most African countri...

The current status of cassava Begomoviruses, the most serious constraint to the production of cassava, a major staple food crop in sub-Saharan Africa, is reviewed in relation to their distribution, effects, etiology, and epidemiology. It is concluded that control of the diseases would continue to...
