Emergence, spread and strategies for controlling the pandemic of cassava mosaic virus disease in east and central Africa

1999-12-01

Abstract excerpt

During the 1990s, an epidemic of an unusually severe form of cassava mosaic virus disease (CMD) has expanded to cover virtually all of Uganda, and substantial areas in the neighbouring countries of Kenya, Tanzania, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
