Due July 2011.-The book presents a chronology of events of B.tabaci and geminiviruses,and an overview within the Caribbean and Latin America. The pathosystemsinvolving Tomato yellow leaf curl virus, Cotton leaf curl virus and thecassava mosaic viruses are discussed. Data is presented on amino acidconcentrations influencing B.tabaci and thus serves the basis for holidic diets. The essential molecular techniques for B.tabaci identification and classification are included with factors to consider for appropriate applications, an essential working guide forgraduate students and researchers in the molecular field. Photosportray symptoms of geminivirus-infecting crops: tomato, cotton,cassava, legumes and cucurbits, an important guide for researchers andgrowers. The novel insecticides, their mode of action and specificity,emphasize the applications of these within IPM programs.
