Lysine provisioning by horizontally acquired genes promotes mutual dependence between whitefly and two intracellular symbionts

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Horizontal gene transfer is widespread in insects bearing intracellular symbionts. Horizontally transferred genes (HTGs) are presumably involved in amino acid synthesis in sternorrhynchan insects.

MAPK-directed activation of the whitefly transcription factor CREB leads to P450-mediated imidacloprid resistance

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Most studies of pesticide resistance have focused on the identification and functional analysis of resistance genes, but few studies have considered the signaling pathways involved in their regulation.

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.

A Review of the Biology and Control of Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), with Special Reference to Biological Control Using Entomopathogenic Fungi

Insects, 2020
Simple Summary The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, is considered one of the most destructive insect pests of vegetables and ornamental crops globally. Synthetic chemical pesticides are mainly used to control B. tabaci, however, their extensive usage has led to

Effect of photoperiod and host distribution on the horizontal transmission of Isaria fumosorosea (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) in greenhouse whitefly assessed using a novel model bioassay [PDF]

, 2010
A model bioassay was used to evaluate the epizootic potential and determine the horizontal transmission efficiency of Isaria fumosorosea Trinidadian strains against Trialeurodes vaporariorum pharate adults under optimum conditions (25±0.5°C, ~100% RH ...

Autophagy Regulates Whitefly-Symbiont Metabolic Interactions

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2021
Nutritional symbionts, which are restricted to specialized host cells called bacteriocytes, can provide essential nutrients for many hosts. However, the cellular mechanisms of regulation of animal-symbiont metabolic associations have been largely ...

First record of the nesting whitefly, Paraleyrodes minei Iaccarino, 1990 (Hemiptera, Aleyrodidae) in Malta [PDF]

, 2016
The nesting whitefly, Paraleyrodes minei is the latest exotic whitefly species to be found breeding in Malta and was originally described from specimens collected from Citrus crops in Syria by Iaccario (1990).

IOT-Based Cotton Whitefly Prediction Using Deep Learning

Scientific Programming, 2021
Agriculture is suffering from the problem of low fertility and climate hazards such as increased pest attacks and diseases. Early prediction of pest attacks can be very helpful in improving productivity in agriculture. Insect pest (whitefly) attack has a
