Virus-host interactions in the cassava brown streak disease pathosystem
… understand the virus-host plant interactions for cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) caused by two viruses, Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan Cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV) of the genus Ipomovirus, family Potyviridae. The diversity of six CBSD isolates from the endemic (Kenya, …

Predicting the Spread and Management of the Cassava Brown Streak Disease Epidemic
Cassava Brown Streak disease (CBSD) is a viral disease of cassava that causes necrosis of the edible root tissue, which reduces both consumable and marketable yield. In 2004, CBSD emerged in Uganda and has since been spreading rapidly through previously unaffected regions of East Africa and into …

Molecular diagnostics, genetic diversity and generating infectious clones for cassava brown streak viruses
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) threatens cassava production in eastern and southern African countries. Diagnostic protocols currently available for the causal agents of CBSD, Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Cassava brown streak Uganda virus (CBSUV), were unreliable but were urgently …

Mining disease resistance genes in cassava using next-generation sequencing
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) remains a major threat to cassava productivity hence to food security and livelihood of over half a billion people in sub-Saharan Africa. Exploitation of natural resistance is generally accepted as the most sustainable means to control the disease. Most of the …

How growers make decisions impacts plant disease control
Whilst the spread of plant disease depends strongly on biological factors controlling transmission, epidemics clearly also have a human dimension. Disease control depends on decisions made by individual growers, who are in turn influenced by a broad range of factors. Despite this, human behaviour …
