Relationship between Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Viruses and the Whitefly Vector
Journal of Science and Sustainable Development, 2011 Abstract · Tomato yellow leaf curl is prevalent in tomato growing districts of Uganda. The disease is known to be spread by a whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) in a persistent manner. Some of its symptoms are leaf curl, marginal leaf yellowing, malformation of fruits, stunting and dieback (in case of primary infection at early seedling stage), so the disease ...
