Abstract excerpt
South African cassava mosaic virus (SACMV) is one of several bipartite begomoviruses that cause cassava mosaic disease (CMD) which reduces the production yield of the cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) crop in many tropical and subtropical regions. SACMV DNA-A and DNA-B encoded-proteins act as virulence factors that aid in inducing different disease severity depending on the host response. Recent evidence...
