Surveillance and diagnostics dataset on Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus (Fam. Geminiviridae) and CMD in Thailand

Emergent agricultural pathogens cause severe damage worldwide. Standard surveillance and diagnostic protocols need to be evaluated and implemented at regional level, particularly with diseases caused by a wide range of pathogens that can induce similar symptoms. This dataset provides a description of surveillance and diagnostics data for CMD in Thailand (2019), indicating location of the surveyed fields, presence of visual symptoms, symptom severity and PCR-diagnostic results with two primer sets, both of them targeting the CP region. All samples were collected using a standard protocol as described in the associated manuscript. More information is available upon request.

新发农业病原物在全球范围内造成严重危害。标准的农业监测与诊断规程需在区域层面开展评估并落地实施，针对由可引发相似症状的多类病原物所致的病害而言，这一要求尤为重要。本数据集记录了2019年泰国地区木薯花叶病（CMD）的监测与诊断相关数据，涵盖调查田块的地理位置、可见症状的发生情况、症状严重程度，以及采用两组靶向外壳蛋白（CP）区域的引物集所得到的聚合酶链式反应（PCR）诊断结果。所有样本均按照相关研究手稿中所述的标准采集规程完成收集。如需获取更多相关信息，可另行提出申请。
