I am working in partnership with Colleagues on plant diseases and plant protection of key crops. In my team, we are researching on plant disease diagnostic with students at undergraduate, Master and PhD levels. I am leading a project entitled banana bunchy Top virus in Benin where I am coatching Farmers via mobilisation, awareness creation, training and sourcing for planting materials along with the control of the disease within five communes in Benin. This work aims to revive the crop production in Benin through the control of the viral disease (banana bunchy top virus). I am also involved in a team work on West African Virus Epidemiology (WAVE°) mainly on cassava mosaic virus management in Benin
