The findings suggest that cassava may be a potential alternative host for the Côte d'Ivoire lethal yellowing (CILY) phytoplasma, which poses a serious threat for the food security of smallholder coconut and cassava farmers, especially women, in Grand-Lahou, Côte d’Ivoire. Leaf samples were collected at random from 12 symptom-bearing and two symptomless cassava plants from two villages. Illustrations/ figures depict the symptoms of yellowing. Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is one of the staple foods in Africa, cultivated in 40 countries and producing more than three million tonnes per year.1 digital file (3 p. : ill.)Application/pdfenCOCONUT LETHAL YELLOWING DISEASECASSAVACOTE D’IVOIREPLANT DISEASESCROP LOSSESSMALLHOLDERSSOUTH OF SAHARAPESTS OF PLANTSWOMEN IN AGRICULTUREDISEASE CONTROLLAND USEIVORY COASTFOOD SECURITYJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
