CWB: an emerging curse on cassava
Cassava witches broom
Causal pathogen 16SrI phytoplasma Presumed insect transmission Spread through infected planting material
Symptoms Stunting Leaf proliferation Yellowing / discoloration
Yield impact Average 10-15% yield losses 25-30% reduction starch content / quality Plant death General crop loss

Monitoring efforts
Regional scouting Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia/Myanmar/Thailand 2014 dry season ~450 cassava fields
Simple survey protocol Standardized across countries/regions Quick screening
Mealybug species complex Cassava witches broom Other phytosanitary constraints
PCR-based confirmation CWB
Anticipated outcome Early detection > Rapid response Sustained monitoring > Safe areas
