Abstract:

Cassava mosaic disease caused by begomoviruses of Geminiviridae family is one of the major constraints for the Cassava production in many Cassava growing states of India. The disease is known to be transmitted by whiteflies Bemisia tabaci and spread though the infected Cassava planting material. In India the Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is caused by both Indian cassava mosaic virus (ICMV) and Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus (SLCMV). However, Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus was the most predominant virus species in the study area. To assess the severity of CMD, a survey was conducted during 202

Abstract:

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) caused by cassava begomoviruses is the major constraint to cassava production in Ghana. The disease is known to cause reduction in root yield. To ascertain the distribution of viruses causing CMD, 95 diseased cassava samples were collected in two agroecological zones of Ghana-Deciduous Forest zone and the Transitional zone. On a scale of 1-5, CMD severity was scored. Mean CMD severity score was 2.9, however there was no significant difference (p &gt; 0.05) between the zones. Averagely, CMD score of &gt; 2.8 in 71% of farms visited was recorded. Polymerase c

Abstract:

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) threatens cassava production across the African continent. Because CMD is widespread in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), it is particularly important to monitor border regions to prevent the introduction of other cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) viruses and strains into regions otherwise considered still free of the viruses. The objective of this study was to establish the occurrence of viruses associated with CMD and their alternate host plants along the Nigeria-Cameroon border. One hundred leaf samples from cassava plants and weed species were collected across 21 loca

Abstract:

Begomoviruses are a major threat to cassava production in Africa. Indeed, during the 1990s, the emergence of a recombinant begomovirus (East African cassava mosaic virus-Uganda, EACMV-Ug) resulted in crop devastation and severe famine in Uganda. In 2023, during a pre-survey of cassava farms at Forécariah, South-West Guinea, 22 samples showing peculiar cassava mosaic disease (CMD) symptoms were collected, and subsequent laboratory analysis confirmed the presence of EACMV-Ug in the samples. Deep analysis of DNA-A and DNA-B of the EACMV-Ug isolates from Guinea indicated that they are similar to t

Mean CMD incidence varied across all six provinces but was greatest in Lusaka Province (81%) and least in Northern Province (44%). Mean CMD severity varied slightly between provinces, ranging from 2.78 in Eastern Province to 3.00 in Northwestern Province. Polymerase chain

ABSTRACTCassava mosaic begomoviruses (CMBs) cause cassava mosaic disease (CMD) across Africa and the Indian subcontinent. Like all members of the geminivirus family, CMBs have small, circular single-stranded DNA genomes. We report here the discovery of two novel DNA sequences, designated SEGS-1 and SEGS-2 (forsequencesenhancinggeminivirussymptoms), that enhance symptoms and break resistance to CMD. The SEGS are characterized by GC-rich regions and the absence of long open reading frames. Both SEGS enhanced CMD symptoms in cassava (Manihot esculentaCrantz) when coinoculated withAfrican cassava

SummaryThe performance of a cassava clone susceptible to cassava mosaic disease (CMD) was tested over two successive years for CMD development, plant vigour and yield of fresh tuberous roots. Cuttings from plants with different CMD infection levels were used. There was a significant increase in mosaic incidence, severity and proportion of leaves showing symptoms of the disease in the subsequent crop as the levels of CMD primary infection in planting material increased. Plant height and stem diameter were also adversely affected and the yield of plants from severely affected cuttings was reduce

Cassava is one of the most important crops in Africa. It is widely grown in many countries of sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar, and plays a major role in food security and poverty alleviation. In Mozambique, cassava is the second most important root crop and used exclusively as human consumption: it is estimated that 70% of the total cassava production is utilized as human food.
