Field evaluation of selected cassava genotypes for cassava brown streak disease based on symptom expression and virus load

Background Production of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), a food security crop in sub-Saharan Africa, is threatened by the spread of cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) which manifests in part as a corky necrosis in the storage root. It is caused by either of two virus species, Cassava brown stre...
