Several techniques used to eliminate viruses from cassava are described, namely heat therapy, apical tissue culture, and micropropagation. Virological tests to index cassava viruses are also indicated as follows: ELISA, dsRNA, mechanical inoculation of leaf sap in plants on Chenopodium quinoa, an...
