Résumé : Following the open comment period for MusaNet and ProMusa members in September 2015, the ''BSV Position Paper'' was finalized and is now available here. The purpose of the position paper was to propose a strategy for the distribution of germplasm containing infective endogenous BSV in the B genome, while minimising any risk associated with the distribution of BSV to the recipient country. Comments on the paper were well received and addressed by the taskforce. Please click here for a summary of the comments and responses. The next step is for the International Transit Centre (ITC) to develop an official procedure for the distribution of eBSV infected germplasm based on the position paper. This will be discussed in the MusaNet Expert Committee and reviewed by the taskforce (pictured below) that developed the position paper. The strategy will be implemented after all of the ITC accessions containing the B genome are screened and cleaned if necessary. This is currently being carried out by CIRAD and the University of Liege, Gembloux Agro-Biotech, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2016. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Rachel Chase at r.chase@cgiar.org.
