Limited predator-induced dispersal in whiteflies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Whereas prey are known to avoid habitats with their predators, it is less well established whether they are triggered to emigrate to new habitats when exposed to predators in their current habitat.

Managing Whiteflies on Landscape Ornamentals

EDIS, 2017
Whiteflies are a common pest of many ornamental plants throughout Florida and the world. There are more than 1,500 species worldwide and over 75 reported in Florida. Some of the most economically important species in Florida are the sweetpotato whitefly,

A viral movement protein mediates host volatile biosynthesis to co-attract vectors and non-vectors and enhances viral infection [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
The literature shows that vector-transmitted plant viruses mediate host volatile biosynthesis to attract vectors and repel non-vectors, benefiting plant-infecting viruses and enhancing their spread.

Interaction of Whitefly Effector G4 with Tomato Proteins Impacts Whitefly Performance

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions
The phloem-feeding insect Bemisia tabaci is an important pest, responsible for the transmission of several crop-threatening virus species. While feeding, the insect secretes a cocktail of effectors to modulate plant defense responses.

Improving Whitefly Management [PDF]

Insects, 2021
Whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), especially the sweetpotato or cotton whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), are among the most destructive and difficult to manage polyphagous insect pests around the globe [...]

Recommendations for Management of Whiteflies, Whitefly-Transmitted Viruses, and Insecticide Resistance for Production of Cucurbit Crops in Florida

EDIS, 2022
This publication lists and describes common viruses spread in cucurbit crops by whiteflies. It includes strategies for managing whiteflies, most of them originally from a similar publication on managing whiteflies in tomatoes.

A dataset of cassava whitefly count images

Data in Brief, 2022
Whiteflies are insect vectors that affect a variety of plants such as tomatoes, cabbages, sweet potatoes, eggplants, and cassava. In Uganda, whiteflies are a major contributor to the spread of Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD).

Powdery Mildew Fungus Oidium lycopersici Infected-Tomato Plants Attracts the Non-Vector Greenhouse Whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum, but Seems Impair Their Development

Agronomy, 2022
The mechanism underlying the mediation of the behavior and fitness of non-vector herbivores by fungal pathogen-infected host plants is still unclear.

Unattended Trapping of Whiteflies Driven out of Tomato Plants onto a Yellow-Colored Double-Charged Dipolar Electric Field Screen

Horticulturae, 2022
An unattended pest control system was developed to eliminate whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) that settled on greenhouse tomato plants. The system exploited the whitefly’s habit of flying up from a plant that was mechanically tapped and then heading toward ...

RNA viral metagenome of whiteflies leads to the discovery and characterization of a whitefly-transmitted carlavirus in North America. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Whiteflies from the Bemisia tabaci species complex have the ability to transmit a large number of plant viruses and are some of the most detrimental pests in agriculture.
