Rickettsia influences thermotolerance in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci B biotype (2011, background): “…is a cosmopolitan, polyphagous insect pest that has tissue tropism in the plant phloem, and inflicts damage in many crops due to direct feeding, honeydew secretion and vectoring of plant viruses, some of which are devastating (Byrne & Bellows, 1991; Perring, 2001; Brown & Czosnek, 2002).”
Plant Viruses Transmitted by Whiteflies (2003, background): “Criniviruses are carried by whiteflies in a semipersistent manner and are retained after acquisition for periods of only a few days (Duffus, 1987).”
Occurrence of three genotypic clusters of Bemisia tabaci and the rapid spread of the B biotype in south India (2005, background): “These are direct feeding, inducing phytotoxic disorders and, most significantly, by vectoring numerous plant viruses (Bird & Maramorosch, 1978; Muniyappa, 1980; Duffus, 1987; Maruthi et al., 2002; Jones, 2003; Varma & Malathi, 2003; Colvin et al., 2004).”
