High throughput real‐time RT‐PCR assays for specific detection of cassava brown streak disease causal viruses, and their application to testing of planting material
2012-05-02
Abstract excerpt
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) caused by Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV) is causing severe losses in cassava production in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Two real‐time RT‐PCR assays based on TaqMan chemistry capable of detecting and distinguishing these two viruses are described. These assays were used to screen 493 cassava samples collected from western and coast...
