Unusual occurrence of a DAG motif in the Ipomovirus Cassava brown streak virus and implications for its vector transmission
20 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
Cassava is the main staple food for over 800 million people globally. Its production in eastern Africa is being constrained by two devastating Ipomoviruses that cause cassava brown streak disease (CBSD); Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV), with up to 100% yield loss for smallholder farmers in the region. To date, vector studies have not resulted in reproducible and...
