    Abstract/Description
    Field surveys in many cassava growing areas of Africa have assessed the incidence and severity of cassava mosaic disease (CMD), populations of the whitefly vector (Bemisia tabaci), and the distribution of cassava mosaic begomoviruses (CMBs). The methods employed differ greatly between countries and attempts at standardization were made in recent CMD surveys in East and Central Africa, notably in the systemwide Whitefly IPM Project, which provides a paradigm for future work on CMBs and whiteflies on cassava in Africa and also elsewhere. However, there is a need for greater standardization so as to assess the continued expansion of the current CMD pandemic in eastern Africa. Standardized methods will facilitate the collection of reliable data, which can be used to predict future disease spread, develop appropriate management strategies and compare disease development between seasons and locations. In this review, the methods used and the problems encountered during such surveys are discussed and recommendations made on future procedure.
