Abstract

Sugarcane mosaic is caused by a viral complex belonging to the subgroup of the Sugarcane mosaic virus, Potyvirus genus, Potyviridae family. This subgroup consists of four species of potyvirus: Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), Maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV), Johnson grass mosaic virus (JGMV), Sorghum mosaic virus (SrMV); and their different lineages. This project proposes to explore the reasonable volume of information available in the international literature with respect to SCMV, combined with the use of serology and biomolecular tools aimed at the data collection, identification and the development of a reliable diagnostic technique for the different species and lineages of the virus present in crops in the country. This information is fundamental for the better understanding of the pathogen and for the planning of control strategies so as to prevent potential epidemics. (AU)
