Begomoviruses are vectored in a circulative persistent manner by the whitefly Bemisia
tabaci. The insect ingests viral particles with its stylets. Virions pass along the food canal and …

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is one of the most studied plant viral pathogens
because it is the most damaging virus for global tomato production. In order to combat this …

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV)(Geminiviridae: Begomovirus) is exclusively vectored
by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius)(Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). TYLCV transmission …

ABSTRACT Whiteflies (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) are sap-sucking insects that harbor
“Candidatus Portiera aleyrodidarum,” an obligatory symbiotic bacterium which is housed in …

The rapid advances in available transcriptomic and genomic data and our understanding of
the physiology and biochemistry of whitefly–plant interactions have allowed us to gain new …

Many plant viruses depend on insect vectors for their transmission and dissemination. The
whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is one of the most important virus vectors …

For many insect-vectored plant viruses, the relationship between feeding behavior and
vector competence may prove integral to an understanding of the epidemiology of the …

Symbiotic relationships with bacteria are common within the Arthropoda, with interactions
that substantially influence the biology of both partners. The symbionts' spatial distribution is …

Our current knowledge concerning the transmission of begomoviruses by the whitefly vector
Bemisia tabaci is based mainly on research performed on the Tomato yellow leaf curl virus …

Publisher Summary Whitefly-mediated transmission of circulative plant viruses involves
highly specific, coevolved intramolecular interactions between the viral-encoded …
