N2  - Maize Lethal Necrosis (MLN) is a viral disease caused by a synergistic interaction of  Maize Chlorotic Mottle Virus (MCMV) and Sugarcane Mosaic Virus (SCMV) or other  viruses such as Maize Dwarf Mosaic Virus (MDMV) or Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus  (WSMV). In eastern Africa, MLN has so far been reported to be caused by a combination  of MCMV and SCMV infection, but MCMV and SCMV alone are also capable of causing  significant damage. Therefore, most research efforts, including standardization of  diagnostic protocols, are focused on these two viruses (MCMV and SCMV)
