Competitive Interactions Between Whitefly- and Aphid-Transmitted Poleroviruses Within the Plant Host and the Insect Vectors

Phytopathology®, 2021
Pepper cultivation in Israel has been constrained by two sympatric poleroviruses, Pepper vein yellows virus-2 (PeVYV-2) and Pepper whitefly-borne vein yellows virus (PeWBVYV), which are transmitted specifically by aphids and whiteflies, respectively.

Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4089-4103, May 2026.
Recent research findings on the biocontrol potential of Lecanicillium aphanocladii fungus against insect‐pests and plant diseases were highlighted. This review indicates that several L. aphanocladii strains show great potential to be developed as multipurpose biocontrol agents active against several insect‐pests, plant diseases and plant parasitic ...

Begomovirus-Associated Satellite DNA Diversity Captured Through Vector-Enabled Metagenomic (VEM) Surveys Using Whiteflies (Aleyrodidae) [PDF]

Viruses, 2016
Monopartite begomoviruses (Geminiviridae), which are whitefly-transmitted single-stranded DNA viruses known for causing devastating crop diseases, are often associated with satellite DNAs. Since begomovirus acquisition or exchange of satellite DNAs may lead to adaptation to new plant hosts and emergence of new disease complexes, it is important to ...

Understanding the interactions among the crop plants, a virus, insect vector whiteflies and their endosymbionts

Phytoparasitica, 2021
Interactions among the four biotic agents - the host plants, a virus, insect vector whiteflies and their bacterial endosymbionts was investigated in this study. The whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is an important crop pest that is infected by several endosymbiotic bacteria that can play varying roles on their hosts.

Feeding Preference and Foraging Behaviour of Eriopis connexa on Two Aphid Species

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 4, Page 444-453, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aphids are phloem‐feeding insects that cause both direct and indirect damage to crops, reducing agricultural productivity. Among the available pest control strategies, biological control using natural enemies is a sustainable and effective approach. The ladybird Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) is a generalist predator known for its voracity and

Resistance levels of cassava landraces to CMD, CBSD and vector whiteflies in Malawi

, 2023
Abstract Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) have been two major threats to cassava production in eastern and southern Africa. This study was designed to identify CMD- and CBSD-resistant cassava landraces and farmer-preferred varieties in Malawi for effective disease control.

Alternative Methods to Manage Silverleaf Whitefly [Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)] in Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.)

Journal of Horticultural Research, 2023
Whiteflies are the most detrimental insect pest for cucurbit crops in Georgia, USA. Plant growth and yield are severely reduced due to whitefly feeding and, more importantly, many plant viruses they vector.

Enhanced vitellogenesis in a whitefly via feeding on a begomovirus-infected plant. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: The MEAM1 (B biotype) Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) is one of the most widespread and damaging whitefly cryptic species. Our previous studies discovered that the MEAM1 whitefly indirectly benefits from interactions with the tomato yellow leaf ...

Beneficial rhizobacteria and virus infection modulate the soybean metabolome and influence the feeding preferences of the virus vector Epilachna varivestis

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2599-2618, May 2026.
Summary Beneficial rhizobacteria and viral pathogens can both alter host plant phenotypes, yet little is known about how their simultaneous presence influences plant metabolism and species interactions. We investigated how two rhizobacteria, Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Delftia acidovorans, together with bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), shape soybean ...
