Résumé

Taro vein chlorosis virus was first detected in Samoa in the south east of Upolu in May 2017 and has been confirmed in November 2017. The virus was subsequently confirmed in the west coast of the country. It is not know how the taro vein chlorosis virus entered Samoa.

Danger

Taro vein chlorosis virus (TaVCV) is a serious cause for concern where taro is grown, not only for the extent of yield losses they cause, but also for the restrictions imposed to the international exchange of taro commodities and germplasm in order to limit the spread of new viruses in countries where they have not yet been reported.
