Abstract The International Working Group Meeting on groundnut viruses in Africa reviewed progress made on the detection, identification, characterization, and management of groundnut viruses in Africa, with special emphasis on rosette and clump viruses. Country representatives summarized the status of research on groundnut viruses in their countries. In order to accomplish integrated management of rosette and clump virus diseases, it was agreed that consolidated efforts should be made to understand their epidemiology. Among the important aspects discussed were the provision of diagnostic aids and training in the identifi cation and detection of viruses for the national agricultural research systems in Africa, and strengthening of laboratory facilities. Scientists from Burkina Faso, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, and from Bel gium, Germany, India, UK, and USA attended the meeting, which was the first gathering of so many plant virologists in
