Manipulation of Whitefly Behavior by Plant Viruses
Microorganisms, 2022 Whiteflies of the Bemisia tabaci complex transmit hundreds of plant viruses belonging to the genera Begomovirus and Crinivirus, among others. Tripartite interactions of whitefly–virus–plant frequently occur during virus infection and transmission ...

A bacteriocyte symbiont determines whitefly sex ratio by regulating mitochondrial function
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: Nutritional symbionts influence host reproduction, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unclear. We previously found that the bacteriocyte symbiont Hamiltonella impacts the sex ratio of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci.
