Diversity of Bemisia tabaci, Vector of African cassava mosaic virus

Focusing on the challenges of managing insect pests in agriculture, this work highlights the importance of identifying specific insect populations, particularly the biotypes of Bemisia tabaci, a significant pest known for its ability to transmit over 100 viruses. The text explores various molecular biological techniques for identifying these morphologically similar yet distinct populations, addressing issues like insecticide resistance and transmission aggressiveness. It serves as a valuable resource for students, educators, researchers, and those involved in managing viral diseases and insect vectors.
