Abstract
Abstract
Leaves from okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) plants exhibiting unusual viral disease symptoms were tested for the presence of begomovirus infection. The putative full-length Soybean chlorotic blotch virus (SbCBV) components A and B molecules, respectively were amplified, sequenced, and analyzed. This is the first study identifying SbCBV, a bipartite begomovirus infecting okra in Cameroon and the centra Central African region.
