Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Virusbox

African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV, ICTV approved acronym) is a plant pathogenic virus of the family Geminiviridae that may cause either a mosaic appearance to plant leaves, or chlorosis (a loss of chlorophyll). In Manihot esculenta (cassava), the most produced food crop in Africa, the virus causes severe mosaic. Cassava is a staple food crop in many places throughout the tropics and subtropics as a source of carbohydrates, but the transmission and severity of disease for cassava in Africa is greatest with ACMV.Шаблон:Clarify

Vectors

African cassava mosaic virus is vectord by a whitefly, Bemisia tabaci.[1]

Impact

ACMV and Cassava brown streak are the greatest drags on cassava in Africa.[1]

Control

A transgenic cassava with Шаблон:Visible anchor donated from Tectaria macrodonta would protect against the whitefly vector.[1]
