The whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) is a widely distributed pest of many important food and fiber crops. This whitefly is also a vector of more than 70 plant-infecting viruses. A cell line was established in vitro using embryonic tissues from the eggs of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), B biotype (pseudonym B. argentifolii Bellows & Perring), and referred to as 'Btb(Ba)97, Hunter-Polston'. Cell cultures were successfully inoculated with begomovirus (BGMV and ToMoV)-infected tomato plant sap…

Discovering new insect viruses: whitefly iridovirus (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae: Bemisia tabaci).
TLDR
This is the first report of an iridescent virus isolated from whiteflies, B. tabaci, collected from the field, and it was confirmed that the virus discovered infecting the whitefly cell cultures was an iridovirus.
Cell lines derived from the squash bug, Anasa tristis (Coreidae: Hemiptera)
TLDR
The squash bug, Anasa tristis, is a pest of cucurbits that exerts direct damage on crops and is a vector of plant pathogens and cell lines established to serve as tools for basic biology and immunology, as well as applied studies, such as insecticide development programs.
Establishment of papaya banker plant system for parasitoid, Encarsia sophia (Hymenoptera: Aphilidae) against Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in greenhouse tomato production
The circulative pathway of begomoviruses in the whitefly vector Bemisia tabaci— insights from studies with Tomato yellow leaf curl virus
TLDR
It is shown that following a short acquisition access to infected tomato plants, TYLCV remains associated with the B. tabaci vector for weeks, while the virus is undetectable after a few hours in the non-vector T. vaporariorum, and the rate of virus translocation in these insects is followed.
Establishment of Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri) primary cultures
TLDR
The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, is a highly competent vector of the phloem-inhabiting bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus associated with the citrus disease huanglongbing, which is considered the most serious citrus disease.
Leafhopper Viral Pathogens: Ultrastructure of salivary gland infection of Taastrup-like virus in Psammotettix alienus Dahlbom; and a novel Rhabdovirus in Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar) Hemiptera: Cicadellidae
TLDR
Taastrup virus (TV) is a novel virus with a RNA genome, a Filovirus-like morphology, being tentatively placed within the Mononegavirales, the only reported cases of this newly discovered viral pathogen of leafhoppers.
Encarsia transvena (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) Development on Different Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) Instars
TLDR
Encarsia transvena is a potentially useful parasitoid of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) in India and information should be useful in designing mass rearing protocols and in release trials for suppression of B. tabaci populations.
Insect cell culture as a tool in plant virus research: a historical overview
TLDR
The in vitro cell cultures of several insect vectors of plant viruses including leafhoppers, planthoppers, aphids, thrips, and whiteflies have been successfully employed to understand the functions of viral proteins and receptor-mediated endocytosis into vector cells.
Aphid and whitefly management in cotton growing: review and challenges for the future
TLDR
Alternative control methods that are better suited to the integrated management of aphid and whitefly populations are proposed within the framework of more rational and sustainable fanning, based on the principle of seeking a return towards a balance between these pests and the various accompanying indigenous beneficial insects.
Iridovirus infection of cell cultures from the Diaprepes root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus
TLDR
Embryonic tissues of the root weevil were used to establish cell cultures for use in screening viral pathogens as potential biological control agents andRoot weevil cells were successfully infected in vitro with a known insect virus, Invertebrate Iridescent Virus 6.

Location of Geminiviruses in the Whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae).
TLDR
The location of tomato mottle virus (ToMoV) and cabbage leaf curl virus (CabLCV) in the whitefly vector Bemisia tabaci B-biotype was elucidated using a novel technique incorporating indirect immunofluorescent labeling in freshly dissected whiteflies.
THE TRANSMISSION OF GEMINIVIRUSES BY BEMISIA TABACI
TLDR
By comparing transmissible viruses at the molecular level to viruses that are no longer whitefly-transmissible, the active epitope on the virus coat protein could be identified for designing future virus control strategies.
Description of a Species of Bemisia (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae)
TLDR
The species has been demonstrated to be distinct from B. tabaci (Gennadius) by crossing experiments, studies on intraspecific and interspecific mating behavior, analysis of allozymic frequencies, PCR analysis of genomic DNA, and morphological evaluation.

Generation and characterization of three monoclonal antibodies useful in detecting and distinguishing bean golden mosaic virus isolates
TLDR
Two monoclonal antibodies prepared to purified virions of bean golden mosaic virus isolates from Guatemala and the Dominican Republic and a coat protein of a BGMV isolate from Brazil expressed in Escherichia coli were useful serological probes for detection of whiteflytransmitted geminiviruses.
