Abstract:
The majority of plant viruses rely on Hemipteran vectors for their survival and transmission. Moreover, many viruses can manipulate their insect vectors. In this context, the Electrical Penetration Graph (EPG) technique is a valuable tool for understanding how plant viruses, such as the begomovirus tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), modify the probing and feeding behavior of piercing-sucking insect vectors like the whitefly Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae).
