First reports of Cotton leaf curl Gezira virus and Okra yellow crinkle virus associated with okra leaf curl disease in Côte d'Ivoire

First report of a naturally occurring isolate of Pepper yellow vein Mali virus causing tobacco yellow leaf curl disease in Burkina Faso

“…Tobacco leaves with (n = 3) and without (n = 2) symptoms were collected. The samples were tested for the presence of begomoviruses using a PCR assay with degenerate primers designed to amplify the coat protein gene of Old World begomoviruses (Séka et al, 2016)…”

First report of Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus and the whitefly Bemisia tabaci Asia1 species on tomato in the Seychelles

“…Three tomato leaf samples were tested for the presence of begomoviruses using PCR assays with a set of degenerate primers designed to amplify the coat protein gene of the Old World begomovirus DNA‐A component (Clust4CP‐F342/Clust4CP‐R1032; Séka et al ., 2016). PCR products of the expected size were obtained from one sample, suggesting the presence of an Old World begomovirus.…”

First report of Pepper yellow vein Mali virus associated with pepper yellow vein disease in Cote d'Ivoire

“…across Côte d'Ivoire (Table 1). Twenty leaf samples from pepper plants with symptoms were collected and tested for the presence of begomoviruses using a PCR assay with a set of degenerate primers designed to amplify the coat protein gene of Old World begomoviruses (Seka et al , 2016). PCR products of the expected size were obtained from seven samples, suggesting the presence of Old World monopartite begomoviruses (Table 1).…”
