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.

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.

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.

The state of commercial augmentative biological control: plenty of natural enemies, but a frustrating lack of uptake [PDF]

, 2011
Augmentative biological control concerns the periodical release of natural enemies. In com- mercial augmentative biological control, natural enemies are mass-reared in biofactories for release in large numbers to obtain an immediate control of pests. The

Differences in gene expression in whitefly associated with CYSDV-infected and virus-free melon, and comparison with expression in whiteflies fed on ToCV- and TYLCV-infected tomato

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus (CYSDV; genus Crinivirus, Closteroviridae) is transmitted in a semipersistent manner by the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, and is efficiently transmitted by the widely prevalent B.
