Description The International Working Group Meeting on groundnut viruses in Africa reviewed progress made on the
detection, identification, characterization, and management of groundnut viruses in Africa, with special
emphasis on rosette and clump viruses. Country representatives summarized the status of research on
groundnut viruses in their countries. In order to accomplish integrated management of rosette and clump
virus diseases, it was agreed that consolidated efforts should be made to understand their epidemiology.
Among the important aspects discussed were the provision of diagnostic aids and training in the identification
and detection of viruses for the national agricultural research systems in Africa, and strengthening
of laboratory facilities.
Scientists from Burkina Faso, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, and from Belgium,
Germany, India, UK, and USA attended the meeting, which was the first gathering of so many plant
virologists in South Africa.
