Five potyvirus isolates from various cowpea-producing areas (Guinea and Sudan savannas and forest zones) in Nigeria were identified by serology and infectivity tests as BlCMV (Isolates IT15, IT16 and WC) or as CAMV (isolates IT11 and ZARIA) and compared with the standard isolate of blackeye cowpe...

The aleyrodid Aleurodicus dispersus is reported from Nigeria. The first observation was made on cassava in early 1992 at several locations in Ibadan. A survey carried out in January 1993 revealed that several genera, many of them important food and ornamental crops, are food plants of the insect.
Meristem-tip culture is being used to eliminate viruses from plants. The fact that some viruses are easier to eliminate than others has been utilized in thermotherapy and chemotherapy, along with meristem-tip culture, to increase the efficacy of disease elimination. Tissue culture materials are c...

Seven viruses are known on maize in tropical Africa, however, information is still scanty. MSV is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa; other viruses are less widely spread or only of local importance. Information on viruses and virus diseases is useful to plant breeders in setting priorities...
