Y, 2013. First report on
the molecular identification of the phytoplasma associated with a
lethal yellowing-type disease of coconut palms in
Côte d’Ivoire.
New Disease Reports 28, 3.

In 2013 the first report of the detection and identification of a CSPW strain associated with a LY-type disease of coconut palms in Côte d'Ivoire represents a significant impact for the national coconut industry. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop effective control measures to halt spread of the d isease to other areas of the country.
Blast and dry bud rot reported from nursery seedlings in Ivory Coast in the late 1970s and early 1980s (Dollet, 1980) were attributed to planthoppers, could be controlled by cultural methods but have not (presumably) been screened by more recent PCR techniques (amendement or addition requested).
Spread - None
Currently active areas - None
Suspected new outbreaks - None
Other palm/plant hosts
New hosts, new vectors, new strains or suspected loss of resistance - confirmed or unconfirmed
Research projects
Rehabilitation/replanting programmes - it is not known to what extent potentially resistant varieties and hybrids (identified in Ghana) are being planted in Ivory Coast in anticapation of any incidence of disease (compare to Nicaragua).
Economic importance/threat
