Overview
- Offers a multidisciplinary view on one of the major diseases of tomato crops, the tomato yellow leaf curl disease
- Compiles the numerous aspects of the relation between the virus, the tomato host plant and the whitefly vector
- Presents papers on classical epidemiology of the viral disease as well as up-to-date molecular research
- Deals with the effort of researchers and companies to breed tomato plants resistant to the disease, to develop new diagnostic tools, and to use new and friendlier insecticides to overcome acquired resistance to insecticides

About this book
This book will awaken the interest of breeders, phytopathologists, environmentalists, extension services, plant virologists, entomologists and molecular biologists. It deals both with the epidemiological aspects of the disease and with integrated pest management in the field. It discusses the efforts aimed at breeding tomato plants resistant to the virus (using classical breeding, marker-assisted breeding and genetic engineering). It summarizes the techniques used for diagnosis, eradication and certification and emphasizes the problems inherent to the control of the virus insect vector, the use of pesticides and the resistance acquired by the insects, the appearance of new whitefly biotypes with previously unknown characteristics, and the complex relations between virus, vector and plant host.
