Assessing the diversity of whiteflies infesting cassava in Brazil

Background The necessity of a competent vector for transmission is a primary ecological factor driving the host range expansion of plant arthropod-borne viruses, with vectors playing an essential role in disease emergence.Cassava begomoviruses severely constrain cassava production in Africa.Curiously, begomoviruses have never been reported in cassa
