Summary |
"The Whitefly Bemisia tabaci" introduces the different Bemisia tabaci -Geminivirus pathosystems along with the most recent findings and research endeavors |
|
The various systems, each with its own challenge and complexity will unequivocally contribute to existing knowledge |
|
With evolving geminiviruses and the appearance of new B |
|
Tabaci genetic groups, new interaction events and disease epidemics can be anticipated |
|
To this end, chapters are included to deal with geminiviruses of economic importance, and the important molecular techniques used in B |
|
Tabaci identification and research |
|
This book will be an excellent reference source, comprising related chapters devoted to an improved understanding of the intricacies underlying geminivirus disease epidemics in various parts of the world |
|
Since the ultimate goal is to advance such understanding into sustainable management practices against B |
|
Tabaci and the geminiviruses they transmit, concluding chapters deal with management, and possible applications of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology |
