Diversity and Phylogenetic Relationships of Full Genome Sequences of Cassava Brown Streak Viruses in Kenya

T. M. Kathurima & E. M. Ateka · Biotechnology Journal International · 2019

Cassava brown streak disease is caused by cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Uganda cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV). Many of the CBSV and UCBSV diversity studies utilize partial coat protein sequences due to the unavailability of representative full genome sequences. Hence,...

Genetic Diversity and Distribution of Cassava Brown Streak Virus and Ugandan Cassava Brown Streak Virus in Major Cassava-growing Regions in Kenya

T. M. Kathurima, A. B. Nyende, S. M. Kiarie & E. M. Ateka · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2016

Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is caused by two viruses; Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV) that are genetically distinct. The disease can cause losses of up to 100 million US Dollars and it has a big impact on cassava yields. Th...
