Abstract
Leaf, stem apex, heart and inflorescence samples of coconut palms exhibiting Côte d’Ivoire Lethal Yellowing (CILY) symptoms that resemble those associated with Cape Saint Paul Wilt Disease (CSPWD) in Ghana, were sampled and nested PCR-tested for phytoplasma presence. The phytoplasma identified was further characterized based on the sequences of the 16S rRNA and secA genes. Results support possibility of disease spread from the neighbouring Ghana, posing a threat for the Ivorian coconut industry.
