On #frogskin disease 50-year anniversary we present our work on solving this mystery. Search no more, #torradoviruses explain the symptoms on #cassava roots in the Americas. I’m very happy for this achievement

Disease Alert: The emergence of #cassava witches' broom #disease (#CWBD) in the Americas will require strong regional coordination to minimize its impact on food security and biodiversity

VSD #cacao and #CWBD could be sibling diseases, first time observing C. theobromae growing from cacao and cassava petioles at the same time, would it be possible to have plasmogamy with each other?#CassDisseaseAsia cooperation @UPLBOfficial @BiovIntCIAT_eng

In 2022 @BiovIntCIAT_eng dreamt of creating a lab in #Laos 🇱🇦 to serve as a #platform for #regional #training & capacity sharing on plant pest & disease. Super proud of the team & grateful for the support of all who made this a reality! @CGIAR @ACIARAustralia @USAID #CATAS #NAFRI

@BiovIntCIAT_eng @irri @JMPardo86 @ASEAN @ACIARAustralia @CassDiseaseAsia @jononewby @ImranMalikWA @OrdoGil @PestDisPlace @NurmiPangesti @Khamla99 Last day of workshop. Teams from PNG, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, succesfully isolated #Ceratobasidium from #cassava with Witches Broom Disease.

@BiovIntCIAT_eng @irri @JMPardo86 @ASEAN @ACIARAustralia @CassDiseaseAsia @jononewby @ImranMalikWA @OrdoGil @PestDisPlace @NurmiPangesti By the end of day 3, the participants learned everything about Ceratobasidium theobromae isolated from diseased #cassava plants and started DNA extraction from mycelliu

@BiovIntCIAT_eng @irri @JMPardo86 @ASEAN @ACIARAustralia @CassDiseaseAsia @jononewby @ImranMalikWA @OrdoGil @PestDisPlace End of day 1. Participants get familiar with "the witch" in the field accompanied by the @BiovIntCIAT_eng team. Back in the lab they learn about phenotyping #fallarmyworm with instructors from @irri

[Wilmer Cuellar @WJCuellar]

@BiovIntCIAT_eng @irri Right on time. @JMPardo86 and Dr. Nurmi Pangesti, welcoming participants from Southeast Asia for a week of exchanging information on transboundary pests & diseases

[Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT @BiovIntCIAT_eng]

📢 The Alliance and @irri are hosting a regional workshop on transboundary pests and diseases in #Laos to foster sustainable and resilient cassava and rice farming systems across #ASEAN. Discover more about the event and its agenda.

This week the Cassava Crop Protection Team from @BiovIntCIAT_eng has been collaborating with FREDON French Guiana in the identification of #cassava diseases, as part of the recent phytosanitary alert in the region.

First genome of Ceratobasidium theobromae isolated from cassava (LAO1 🇱🇦), associated with #cassava witches' broom #disease in Southeast Asia. It is now the reference genome for the species at NCBI. The article is coming soon 👀
