A Novel Parvovirus Associated with the Whitefly <i>Bemisia tabaci</i>. [PDF]

Pathogens
The whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodoidea) causes direct feeding damage to crop plants and transmits pathogenic plant viruses, thereby threatening global food security. Although whitefly-infecting RNA viruses are known and proposed as biocontrol agents, no insect DNA virus has been found in any member of Aleyrodoidea.

Distribution and Molecular Diversity of Whitefly Species Colonizing Cassava in Kenya

Insects, 2021
The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadium, Hemiptera) has been reported to transmit viruses that cause cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Characterization of genes encoding small heat shock proteins from Bemisia tabaci and expression under thermal stress [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are probably the most diverse in structure and function among the various super-families of stress proteins, and they play essential roles in various biological processes.

Distribution of Bemisia tabaci in different agro-ecological regions in Uganda and the threat of vector-borne pandemics into new cassava growing areas

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
Previous studies in sub-Saharan Africa have showed the spread of cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) pandemics into different cassava growing regions by high Bemisia tabaci populations.

Effect of the native strain of the predator Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter and the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and Lecanicillium muscarium against Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) under greenhouse conditions in Tunisia

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2021
Background The misuse of chemical insecticides has developed the phenomenon of habituation in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) causing enormous economic losses under geothermal greenhouses in southern Tunisia.

Can Generalist Predators Control Bemisia tabaci? [PDF]

Insects, 2020
The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, has developed resistance to many insecticides, renewing interest in the biological control of this global pest. Generalist predators might contribute to whitefly suppression if they commonly occur in infested fields and generally complement rather than interfere with specialized natural enemies.

Diversity analysis of Bemisia tabaci biotypes: RAPD, PCR-RFLP and sequencing of the ITS1 rDNA region

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2008
The Bemisia tabaci complex is formed by approximately 41 biotypes, two of which (B and BR) occur in Brazil. In this work we aimed at obtaining genetic markers to assess the genetic diversity of the different biotypes.
