infected with a second geminivirus or by one of
the two CBSD viruses. Understanding in detail
the molecular mechanisms involved may help
us prevent such human catastrophe by deploy-
ing new resistant plants that will not succumb to
CMGs or other viruses. The molecular mecha-
nisms involved in the control of geminiviruses
are not yet known. The challenge for the cassava
research and development community will be to
bring adequate resources to bear in strengthen-
ing efforts to tackle CMD and CBSD scourges
in Africa and other disease hotspots.
