Building capacity in vector‐borne plant virus research: The CONNECTED Network
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Plant viruses spread by insects decimate crop yields globally, causing food security challenges in vulnerable areas, including regions of Africa. Interdisciplinary research is needed to protect future crop supplies. CONNECTED, the Community Network for African Vector‐Borne Plant Viruses, increased research capacity in Central, East, West and Southern ...

Eight new state records of aleyrodine whiteflies found in Clark County, Nevada and three newly described taxa (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae, Aleyrodinae) [PDF]
, 2010 Eight new state records and the three newly described species are the subject of this publication. Whiteflies (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Aleyrodidae: Aleyrodinae) were collected from 2003 through 2009 within the Las Vegas area of Clark County, Nevada to

Hemipteran vectors of stylet‐borne plant viruses: Aphids lead the charge
Insect Science, EarlyView.Among all sap‐feeding hemipterans, aphids stand out by far as the most important vectors of noncirculative plant viruses. Compared to whiteflies and mealybugs, aphids’ highly specialized stylet anatomy and distinct feeding behaviors contribute, together with other features of their biology, to their remarkable efficiency in transmitting stylet‐borne ...

Evaluation of tools to manage whiteflies in European tomato crops The tomato case study [PDF]
, 2008 Whiteflies and whitefly-transmitted viruses present some of the most intractable constraints to European tomato production. The main objectives of the Tomato Case Study (TCS) were to: identify where and why whiteflies were a major limitation, collect ...

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.A small heat‐shock protein (HSP16) previously reported as insect‐derived in Bemisia tabaci actually originates from a fungal species of the genus Wallemia. BLAST, genome survey and phylogenetic analyses support the fungal origin and clarify persistent misattribution in the literature.

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...

Small RNAs from Bemisia tabaci are transferred to Solanum lycopersicum phloem during feeding
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The phloem-feeding whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a serious pest to a broad range of host plants, including many economically important crops such as tomato. These insects serve as a vector for various devastating plant viruses.

Impact of some crop management practices on tomato infestation/infection by the whitefly-begomovirus complex in Cuba [PDF]
, 2013 Introduction. In the framework of the INCO-BETOCARIB Project titled "Begomovirus disease management for sustainable production of tomato in the Caribbean" which operated from 2003- 2006, we conducted a survey aiming at assessing the impact of cultural ...
