Plant damage to vegetable crops by zoophytophagous mirid predators
The use of plant-feeding predators for biological pest control has traditionally been
neglected, mainly due to the risk of them feeding on crop plants and causing economically …

Electropenetrography (EPG): a breakthrough tool unveiling stink bug (Pentatomidae) feeding on plants
T Lucini, AR Panizzi - Neotropical entomology, 2018 - Springer
In this article, we review and discuss the potential use of EPG (electropenetrography) as a
powerful tool to unveil the feeding process of phytophagous stink bugs (pentatomids). These …

A plant virus manipulates the behavior of its whitefly vector to enhance its transmission efficiency and spread
Plant viruses can produce direct and plant-mediated indirect effects on their insect vectors,
modifying their life cycle, fitness and behavior. Viruses may benefit from such changes …

A non-persistently transmitted-virus induces a pull–push strategy in its aphid vector to optimize transmission and spread
Plant viruses are known to modify the behaviour of their insect vectors, both directly and
indirectly, generally adapting to each type of virus–vector relationship in a way that …
