Detection and Distribution of Viruses Infecting Field-grown Sweetpotato in East Africa
(2006)Sweetpotato is an important staple food crop in Sub-Saharan Africa, with production being concentrated in East Africa, particularly around Lake Victoria. Productivity of the crop is greatly constrained by viral diseases. ... -
Identification of molecular markers associated with sweet potato resistance to sweet potato virus disease in Kenya
(2008)Sweet potato virus disease (SPVD), a result of the co-infection of whitefly transmitted Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (genus Crinivirus, family Closteroviridae) and the aphid transmitted Sweet potato feathery mottle ... -
Differential Gene Expression of Resistant and Susceptible Sweetpotato Plants after Infection with the Causal Agents of Sweet Potato Virus Disease
(2009)Sweet potato virus disease (SPVD) is one of the most devastating diseases affecting sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas), an important food crop in developing countries. SPVD develops when sweetpotato plants are dually infected ... -
Development of a multiplex PCR technique for simultaneous detection of Sweet potato feathery mottle virus and Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus
(2010)Virus diseases, especially those caused by mixed infections, are among the economically most devastating diseases of sweet potato. Sweet potato virus disease (SPVD), which is caused by mixed infection of Sweet potato ... -
Survey and control of sweet potato insect pests with special emphasis on sweet potato weevils, Cylas spp
(University of Nairobi,college of agriculture and veterinary sciences, 1991)Thirty-eight sweet potato cloves were tested for resistance Tocylas spp during the long rains of 1990. The crown, stem base and tubers were scored for weevil damage. The larvae and grubs in the tubers and adults around the ... -
The complete genome sequence of the Tanzanian strain of Cassava brown streak virus and comparison with the Ugandan strain sequence
(2010)The complete genome sequence for an isolate of the Ugandan and Tanzanian strain types of Cassava brown streak virus have been determined using the novel approach of non-directed next generation sequencing. Comparison of ... -

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification for rapid detection of the causal agents of cassava brown streak disease
(2013)The causal agents of cassava brown streak disease have recently been identified as Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV). Primers have been developed for rapid detection of these ... -
