The book presents a chronology of events of <i>B. tabaci</i> and geminiviruses, and an overview within the Caribbean and Latin America. The pathosystems involving <i>Tomato yellow leaf curl virus</i>, <i>Cotton leaf curl virus</i> and the cassava mosaic viruses are discussed. Data is presented on amino acid concentrations influencing <i>B. tabaci</i> and thus serves the basis for holidic diets. The essential molecular techniques for <i>B. tabaci</i> identification and classification are included with factors to consider for appropriate applications; an essential working guide for graduate students and researchers in the molecular field. Excellent photos portray symptoms of geminivirus-infecting crops: tomato, cotton, cassava, legumes and cucurbits; an important guide for researchers and growers. The novel insecticides, their mode of action and specificity; emphasize the applications of these within IPM programs.
