Popis: The yield, canopy status and cocoa swollen shoot virus disease (CSSVD) symptom severity were assessed in cacao trees in a long-term field experiment originally established to study cacao swollen shoot virus strain 1A (CSSV-1A) epidemics in plots inoculated with the mild strain CSSV-N1. Yield of cacao was 73.7% and 32.1% lower in cacao plants inoculated with CSSV-1A and the non-inoculated respectively, when compared with cacao plants inoculated with CSSV-N1. CSSVD severity and canopy cover of cacao plants were significantly (P
