Abstract

Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) affects cassava growth and production with resultant foliar symptoms and storage root necrosis causing significant economic losses to farmers. The disease is caused by either Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) or Uganda cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV), both vectored by whitefly, Bemisia tabaci. Cultivation of CBSD-free or resistant cassava genotypes offers the most long term sustainable CBSD management.
