From: Molecular biodiversity of cassava begomoviruses in Tanzania: evolution of cassava geminiviruses in Africa and evidence for East Africa being a center of diversity of cassava geminiviruses

Figure 7

Map of the location of the different types of viruses present in Africa and inlay map of Tanzania showing the location of the completely sequenced CMG clones in that study as well as the localization of the distribution of viruses similar to these clones by RFLP mapping [13]. On the African map the symbols represent an approximate positioning of the viruses for which we have complete sequence information and not those for which we have either partial sequence information or serological data only. The significance of the different stars and shaded areas and arrows is indicated in the legend boxes in the figure. The solid red arrow represents the current direction of spread of the CMD pandemic, while the faded green and blue arrows represent possible "routes" of evolution of EACMV-like viruses and EACMCV in the past.
