The Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) Interaction with Geminivirus-Infected Host Plants - Bemisia tabaci, Host Plants and Geminiviruses (Hardcover, Edition.)

The book presents a chronology of events of "B. tabaci" and geminiviruses, and an overview within the Caribbean and Latin America. The pathosystems involving "Tomato yellow leaf curl virus," "Cotton leaf curl virus" and the cassava mosaic viruses are discussed. Data is presented on amino acid concentrations influencing "B. tabaci" and thus serves the basis for holidic diets. The essential molecular techniques for "B. tabaci" identification and classification are included with factors to consider for appropriate applications; an essential working guide for graduate students and researchers in the molecular field. Excellent photos portray symptoms of geminivirus-infecting crops: tomato, cotton, cassava, legumes and cucurbits; an important guide for researchers and growers. The novel insecticides, their mode of action and specificity; emphasize the applications of these within IPM programs.
