Plant-Insect Ecosystems

Section Symposium

Ecology, Epidemiology, and Management of Whiteflies and Whitefly-transmitted Viruses

Sunday, October 31, 2021
3:30 PM – 5:30 PM MT
Location: Colorado Convention Center, Meeting Room 111-113

In-Person

This all-inclusive symposium will provide a comprehensive coverage on whiteflies as pests and their ability to serve as super vectors of viruses threatening food and nutritional security. This symposium also will offer a glimpse of the recent advancements on whitefly-virus-host interactions and on management efforts.
