A study was undertaken to determine whether cocoa swollen shoot virus is transmitted by seeds, to improve the robustness of quarantine procedures for international exchange and long term conservation of cocoa germplasm. PCR/capillary electrophoresis,... Read More about Transmission of cocoa swollen shoot virus by seeds.

The effectiveness of somatic embryogenesis in eliminating the cocoa swollen shoot virus from infected cocoa trees (2008)
Journal Article
Quainoo, A. K., Wetten, A. C., & Allainguillaume, J. (2008). The effectiveness of somatic embryogenesis in eliminating the cocoa swollen shoot virus from infected cocoa trees. Journal of Virological Methods, 149(1), 91-96. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jviromet.2008.01.007

Investigations were undertaken on the use of somatic embryogenesis to generate cocoa swollen shoot virus (CSSV) disease free clonal propagules from infected trees. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) capillary electrophoresis revealed the presence of CSS...
