Journal ArticleDOI

Global relationships of Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) revealed using Bayesian analysis of mitochondrial COI DNA sequences

Laura M. Boykin, +6 more
- 01 Sep 2007 - 
TL;DR: The first well-resolved phylogeny for the Bemisia tabaci species complex was produced in this paper, showing 12 major wellresolved (0.70 posterior probability or above) genetic groups: B. tabaci (Mediterranean/Asia Minor/Africa), B.tabaci (Mao et al., 2014) and B.Tabaci (Uganda sweet potato).
Journal ArticleDOI

Localization of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, Associated with Citrus Huanglongbing Disease, in its Psyllid Vector using Fluorescence in situ Hybridization

El-Desouky Ammar, +2 more
- 01 Dec 2011 - 
TL;DR: These results provide the first in situ demonstration of Las infection in various psyllid organs and tissues and show the near-systemic infection of ACP by Las.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multitrophic interactions of the silverleaf whitefly, host plants, competing herbivores, and phytopathogens.

Richard T. Mayer, +7 more
- 01 Dec 2002 - 
TL;DR: The results indicate that certain SLW-virus relationships could be mutualistic, andMultitrophic cascade effects may contribute to the successful eruptive appearance of SLW on various crops, ranking them as a major pest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved DNA barcoding method for Bemisia tabaci and related Aleyrodidae: development of universal and Bemisia tabaci biotype-specific mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I polymerase chain reaction primers

Robert G. Shatters, +4 more
- 06 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: Through new sequence generation and comparison to available whitefly mtCOI sequence data, a set of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification primers were identified that are more efficient at amplifying ≈748 bp of the ≈800-bp fragment currently used.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential transcriptional activity of plant- pathogenic begomoviruses in their whitefly vector (Bemisia tabaci, Gennadius: Hemiptera Aleyrodidae)

Xiomara H. Sinisterra, +4 more
- 01 May 2005 - 
TL;DR: Interestingly, the difference observed in ToMoV and TYLCV transcripts in the vector parallel observations on the different biological effects of these viruses on whiteflies, i.e. TY LCV, but not ToMov, reduces whitefly fitness.
