AB  - African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) and East African cassava mosaic virus (EACMV) 
      are whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses (WTGs) which are widespread in cassava in 
      Africa and cause serious yield losses. Recently, a new geminivirus affecting 
      cassava in South Africa (SACMV) has been reported. In this work SACMV was found 
      to have DNA-A and DNA-B components. Comparisons of amino acid sequences of the 
      putative coat protein, and nucleotide sequences of the common region and a 687-bp 
      DNA B fragment of SACMV with other WTGs, showed that SACMV clustered with the Old 
      World subgroup of the Begomovirus genus of geminiviruses. Despite its bipartite 
      nature, SACMV was most closely related to monopartite TYLCVs, but was 
      sufficiently different to justify designating it as a distinct virus. In 
      serological studies, SACMV grouped biologically with EACMV isolates.
