Bemisia tabaci (Gennedius) has distinguished itself from the more
than 1,000 whitefly species in the world by its adaptability,
persistence and potential to damage a wide range of agricultural
and horticultural crops in all six of the world's inhabited
continents. B. tabaci inflicts plant damage through direct feeding,
inducement of plant disorders, vectoring of plant viruses and
excretion of honeydew. This book collates multiple aspects of the
pest ranging from basic to applied science and molecular to
landscape levels of investigation. Experts in multiple disciplines
provide broad, but detailed summaries and discussion of taxonomy,
genetics, anatomy, morphology, physiology, behavior, ecology,
symbiotic relationships, virus vector associations and various
tactics for integrated management of this pest insect. The book is
focused primarily on progress during the last 10-15 years and is
directed at workers in the field as well as the informed
professional who may not necessarily specialize in whitefly
research. The book is unique in providing broad coverage in
relatively few chapters by recognized experts that highlight the
state-of-the-art in our understanding of this fascinating but
troublesome cosmopolitan pest.
