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 …

Species of plant viruses within the Luteoviridae, Geminiviridae, and Nanoviridae are
transmitted by phloem-feeding insects in a circulative, nonpropagative manner. The precise …
