Epidemiological analysis of yam mosaic virus (YMV) infection risk factors and its implications for clean seed yam systems

Osundahunsi, B.; Oviasuyi, T.; Odu, B.O.; Aighewi, B.; Kumar, P.L. (IInternational Institute of Tropical Agriculture, 2022-11)

Yam mosaic virus (YMV) is a major threat to yam production in West Africa. This study determined factors contributing to the spread of YMV in yam fields, including the role of aphid vectors, seed-borne infections, YMV inoculum in the fields, weather, genetic diversity of the virus, and spatial distance between infected sources. The findings of this study are useful for refining YMV control measures, developing a model for disease risk assessment under different scenarios, and guiding clean seed ...

Preventing the transboundary spread of pests and pathogens through germplasm phytosanitary management

Kumar, P.L.; Oguntade, O.; Ajamu, B.; Oludare, O.; Lateef, M.; Oviasuyi, T.; Alaohuo, S.; Oyelami, O. (IInternational Institute of Tropical Agriculture, 2022-11)

Many introduced pests (=pathogens, pests, and weeds) are responsible for major crop disease epidemics. The estimated economic impact of introduced pests on Africa's agricultural sector was up to US$3.6 trillion per year. Seed transmission of pests, along with the international distribution of plant propagation materials, is a major risk for germplasm distribution activities of IITA. As a pest risk mitigation measure, IITA established Germplasm Health Unit (GHU) to facilitate germplasm production ...

Controlling banana bunchy top virus outbreak in east Africa

Mahuku, G.; Kumar, P.L. (IInternational Institute of Tropical Agriculture, 2022-11)

Bananas (and plantain, Musa spp.) are the most important crops contributing to food security and the income of millions of smallholder farmers in East Africa. Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV, genus Babuvirus), an aphid-transmitted virus first reported in 2021 in Tanzania and Uganda, is wrecking banana production in several regions and threatening to spread further in East Africa. The BBTV has no effective solutions. Preventing the virus establishment is the best strategy. The remedial procedure of ...

Changes in chemical and microbiological quality of semi-processed black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) larval meal during storage

Kamau, E.; Mutungi, C.; Kinyuru, J.; Imathiu, S.; Affognon, H.; Ekesi, S.; Nakimbugwe, D.; Fiaboe, K. (2020-04-17)

Edible insects are receiving attention as a protein source in the food and feed sector. However, successful commercialisation requires mass production matched with appropriate processing and storage techniques. The quality of dried and pulverised black soldier fly larvae stored in woven polypropylene (PP) sacks, polyethylene (PE) bags and plastic containers with screw lid (PL) in ambient and refrigerated environments was monitored over six months. Chemical indicators (oxidation, fatty acid profile), ...
