  abstract = {{T}o determine the effects of sweet potato feathery mottle virus ({SPFMV}), {S}weet potato chlorotic stunt virus ({SPCSV}) and their co-infection on sweet potato yield, twelve sweet potato varieties were assessed in a hotspot area in {W}estern {B}urkina {F}aso. {T}he experiment was carried out in a randomized complete-block design with the twelve varieties in three replications. {D}ata were collected on plant growth parameters, plant virus symptoms and yield parameters. {A}dditional testing for selected sweet potato viruses was done using a nitrocellulose membrane enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ({NCM}-{ELISA}) and {RT}-{PCR}. {SPFMV} and {SPCSV} were the viruses detected in this study. {V}arieties {D}jakani and {L}igri were virus-free and had the highest average yields out of twelve sweet potato varieties assessed. {F}ield monitoring indicated that 58% of plants were found to be virus-infected. {T}he results suggest that severe symptoms were associated with sweet potato virus disease ({SPVD}) and yield reduction. {H}owever, the interaction of {SPCSV} with other viruses, which may result in synergistic negative effects on sweet potato yield and quality, needs further research.},
