Isolation, characterisation and identification of a potyvirus from Dioscorea alata L. (water yam) in Nigeria
A yam potyvirus was isolated from Dioscorea alata samples collected in Nigeria. The virus was not transmissible mechanically but was transmitted by Aphis craccivora to four cowpea cultivars (Ife Brown, IT84S‐2114, IT82E‐10 and TVu2657), and from which it could be mechanically transmitted between the...
