Nuances of Whitefly Vector–Crinivirus Interactions Revealed in the Foregut Retention and Transmission of Lettuce Chlorosis Virus by Two Bemisia tabaci Cryptic Species [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Lettuce infectious yellows virus is the first crinivirus for which the retention of purified virions ingested into the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci New World (NW)) vector’s foregut, has been demonstrated to be a requisite for successful virus transmission ...

Transcriptional Modulation of Plant Defense Genes by a Bipartite Begomovirus Promotes the Performance of Its Whitefly Vector [PDF]
VirusesThe majority of plant viruses rely on insect vectors for inter-plant transmission. Amid virus transmission, vector-borne viruses such as begomoviruses may significantly modulate host plants in various ways and, in turn, plant palatability to insect ...

A Semipersistent Plant Virus Differentially Manipulates Feeding Behaviors of Different Sexes and Biotypes of Its Whitefly Vector. [PDF]
Viruses, 2017 It is known that plant viruses can change the performance of their vectors. However, there have been no reports on whether or how a semipersistent plant virus manipulates the feeding behaviors of its whitefly vectors.

The βC1 protein encoded in betasatellites promotes begomovirus-whitefly coexistence by subverting vector infestation-induced plant antiviral defenses. [PDF]
PLoS PathogensThe transmission of many plant viruses depends on arthropod vectors, which acquire viruses while feeding on infected plants and subsequently inoculate un-infected hosts.

Enhanced Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Thailand Virus Suppression Through Multi-Disease and Insect-Resistant Tomato Lines Combining Virus and Vector Resistance [PDF]
InsectsTomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an essential vegetable crop cultivated worldwide, but its production is highly vulnerable to tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD), which is transmitted by whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci).

Viral and Host Factors Involved in Host Gain and Host Loss by Tomato Leaf Curl Begomoviruses in Tomato and Cucumbers. [PDF]
Mol Plant PatholBegomoviruses have jumped hosts between tomatoes and cucumbers, and we found that a short region (transcriptional activator and replication enhancer proteins, TrAp and REn) of tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus is mainly responsible for host jump. ABSTRACT Begomoviruses transmitted by whiteflies cause severe crop losses worldwide.
