“…In the African continent, CPV has been described in South Africa and Namibia (Dogonyaro, Bosman, Sibeko, Venter, & Vuuren, ; Steinel, Venter, Van Vuuren, Parrish, & Truyen, ), Zambia (Kapiya et al, ), Mozambique (Figuiredo et al, ), Ghana (Folitse et al, ), Morocco (Amrani et al, ), Cape Verde (Costanheira et al, ), Nigeria (Chollom et al, ) and Tunisia (Touhiri et al, ).
