Cassava brown streak (CBSD) and mosaic (CMD) diseases are the major cassava production constraints in the East African region. Efforts to control these diseases were initiated in northeastern Tanganyika in the 1930’s using conventional breeding methods. Despite these efforts, CBSD is spreading, t...

Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) is a bacterial banana disease that threatens household income and food security in Burundi. Single disease stem removal (SDSR) is a new labour-saving practice that has been introduced to improve BXW control. In this study we aimed to understand how gender roles can i...

A Nigerian isolate of Yam mosaic virus (YMV), genus Potyvirus from Dioscorea rotundata leaves was used to mechanically inoculate Nicotiana benthamiana (propagation host) plants from which the virus was purified. A hybridoma cell line secreting a monoclonal antibody (Mab) against YMV was produced ...

We report the first identification of novel viruses, and sequence of an entire viral genome, by a single step of high-throughput parallel sequencing of small RNAs from diseased, as well as symptomless plants. Contigs were assembled from sequenced total siRNA from plants using small sequence assem...

The rice yellow mottle diseases is the main virus disease found on rice in Africa. It has been reported in all major rice producing zone of sub-saharan Africa (East,West,Central and Southern Africa and Madagascar). The disease incidence and accompanying yield losses could be high depending on the...
