Verbatim
e0“there were significantly higher levels of accumulation of both ACMV/CM components and, to a lesser extent, of EACMV/CM components in mixed-infected plants than in singly infected plants”
e1“When Nicotiana benthamiana plants were doubly inoculated with these Cameroon isolates of ACMV and EACMV (ACMV/CM, EACMV/CM) by using sap from cassava plants or infectious clones, the symptoms were more severe than for plants inoculated with either virus alone”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation All sampled cassava plants carried ACMV.
- Observation Eight of 50 cassava samples carried ACMV and an EACMV-like virus.
- Observation The EACMV-like virus DNA-A had recombination evidence in AC2-AC3.
- Observation The EACMV-like virus DNA-B had recombination evidence in BC1.
- Observation Both viral components retained typical bipartite begomovirus gene arrangements.
- Intervention effect Double inoculation caused more severe symptoms in Nicotiana benthamiana than either virus alone.
- Intervention effect EACMV/CM components accumulated more in mixed infection, to a lesser extent than ACMV/CM.
