Dear Ludger,
The problem is all over the Caribbean. You can also check with USVI in St. Croix . They have good papaya variety as well. They have done a lot of work on Papaya.

Hi All,
Papaya Ring Spot Virus can be successfully managed, all that is needed is a full knowledge of the disease in term of symptoms, vector and the most effective ways to control those vectors. Important to the successful management of the disease also is a comprehensive nutrition programme.
I don't think that resistant varieties are the answers to combat the disease as it employs genetically modified techniques which goes against healthy eating.

You may also wish to check the University of Hawaii website. Hawaii has had a very successful Papaw program.
Kind regards,

All,
As for most other places, Papaya Ringspot Virus (PRSV) in the main biological constraint to commercial production of papaya in Haiti. I work in the souther peninsula of Haiti as Agriculture Program Manager for Catholic Relief Services, and adjunc professor at the agriculture schools of the American University of Les Cayes (AUC) and the University Notre Dame d'Haiti (UNDH).
I have been informed that CARDI has had papaya breeding programs in the recent years. If any of you knows or has the contacts of rearchers at CARDI that have worked or is currently working on papaya, I would appreciate your puting me in contact with him/her.
I am looking forward to getting your response!
Best regards,
Ludger
Judith
