Rice Yellow Mottle Virus (RYMV): A Silent Threat to Global Food Security

Описание: 🌾 Africa’s Rice in Danger: The Rise of Rice Yellow Mottle Virus (RYMV)
A silent yet deadly virus is threatening millions of farmers across Sub-Saharan Africa. Rice Yellow Mottle Virus (RYMV) can cause up to 100% crop loss, especially when infection strikes early. Originating in Tanzania’s wild grasses in the 1800s, RYMV has now spread across Africa — with beetles, animals, and even farming tools helping it spread.

🦠 Not seed-borne, but highly infectious.
🚜 Severely impacts low-input, rainfed farms.
🧬 Solutions? Resistant varieties like NERICA, CRISPR rice, early detection kits, and integrated pest management.

🌍 A threat to food security, this virus must be understood to be stopped.
Watch to learn how farmers and researchers are fighting back.
