Central & West African Virus Epidemiology (WAVE)
Chaired by Valeriana Ramondo and Matthew Cheng

In this webinar, our speakers, Kathy Kahn and Justin Pita, will highlight how advancements in plant pathology and epidemiology can contribute to achieving SDG 1: No Poverty, highlighting the WAVE initiative focused on cassava viruses. The WAVE Regional Center of Excellence is a scientific and technical platform that aims to increase food production in Central and West Africa, in a sustainable manner, by developing effective methods for the control and management of transboundary plant pathogens, as well as preventing the incursion of exotic plant diseases into new areas. We aim to inspire others to join the research for more sustainable and resilient crop production. The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A session.
