Scientists have developed a strategic 20-year plan for management and eradication of cassava viruses in Africa. To ensure the plan’s success, further research is needed, particularly regarding the biology and epidemiology of the fast-evolving viruses. These efforts will require an integrated management approach from farmers, scientists, and policy makers.
