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 @USAID @ACIARAustralia @Euphresco @BiovIntCIAT_eng @embrapa @Cirad doi.org/10.1002/ndr2.7…

Investment in #cassava disease 🦠 research 🔬 in Asia 🇱🇦 🇻🇳 🇰🇭 🇹🇭 paying dividends in LatinAmerica. @BiovIntCIAT_eng diagnostics developed in @CassDiseaseAsia supported by @ACIARAustralia 🇦🇺 @USAID 🇺🇸 confirm #CWBD in 🇧🇷🇬🇾 @embrapa @Cirad 🇫🇷 @CGIAR revistacultivar.com/news/Ministry-…

@ImranMalikWA explains to participants of the transboundary pest & disease workshop how #NAFRI- @BiovIntCIAT_eng integrate #planthealth into the #cassava #seedsystem in #Laos 🇱🇦. #FutureStems @ACIARAustralia @AusAmbLaos @CGIARgenetic @CGIAR

The joint @BiovIntCIAT_eng - #NAFRI molecular 🧬 lab 🥼 🧫 in Vientiane 🇱🇦 has been a hive of activity with the @ASEAN @CGIAR @ACIARAustralia training on transboundary #pest & #disease. From rice 🌾 to cassava 🍠 colleagues working together to secure food security & livelihoods.

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. #planthealth #plantdisease @irri @BiovIntCIAT_eng

@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 @ASEAN @irri @BiovIntCIAT_eng

@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 #planthealth @ASEAN

@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 #planthealth @ASEAN @ACIARAustralia #CMDinSEA

📢 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. alliancebioversityciat.org/events/regiona…

#Public & #private institutional arrangements for early generation #cassava seed production in #SEAsia. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Need more than ever to get #diseasefree & #resistant varieties into farmers hands 🙌 @BiovIntCIAT_eng @ACIARAustralia @CGIARgenetic @ErikDee3

With the rapid transboundary spread of #cassava witches' broom disease, understanding its biology is key to implementing better preemptive mgmt strategies, from #earlydetection & production of #cleanseed, to ID resistant varieties. @ACIARAustralia @USAID nature.com/articles/s4159…

New findings in the fight against #Cassava Witches Broom #Disease. @ACIARAustralia @USAID @CGIARgenetic @BiovIntCIAT_eng @Leibniz_DSMZ_en @OrdoGil @JMPardo86 @SamarSheat @Khamla99 @Analeiva013 @WarreArinaitwe @StephanWinter11 @jononewby @WJCuellar nature.com/articles/s4159…

Great to see the team from #PPC; #NAFRI and @BiovIntCIAT_eng sharing the latest research findings on #Cassava Witches Broom #Disease (#CWBD) with government, industry & farmer associations in Laos 🇱🇦 @ACIARAustralia @AusAmbLaos @ASEAN @CGIAR

#Cassava & #Starch contributed > 26% of Lao 🇱🇦#export revenue Jan-March 2024. A critical time in the development of the sector, rural communities & smallholder livelihoods. Great to have @ACIARAustralia recognise the #threat & #opportunities @AusAmbLaos @BiovIntCIAT_eng @CGIAR

Yesterday I learned an inexpensive and easy method to detect #WitchesBroom #cassava from @WarrenArinaitwe.....just scrape the stem with your fingernails. But the problem is that I don't have nails 😂

1000s of #CMD #resistant cuttings being produced at #NAFRI 🇱🇦 #FutureStems. 4 years after construction it’s great to see the transition from ‘CleanSeed’ to now #Clean & Resistant #cassava plantlets, #CWBD free with new diagnostic. @BiovIntCIAT_eng @ACIARAustralia @CGIAR

Last publication. A team effort led by @BiovIntCIAT_eng filled with big challenges & also great stories. A solid first step into solving the devastating #cassava witches' broom #disease in Southeast Asia. Please have a look: rdcu.be/dtSAV @ACIARAustralia @USAID @CGIAR

Late infection of #CWBD can be easily overlooked by farmers when selecting stems for next year. @WarrenArinaitwe continues to find more signs to help farmers reduce the risk. @ACIARAustralia @BiovIntCIAT_eng
