Most plant viruses require a biological vector to spread from plant to plant in nature. Among biological vectors for plant viruses, hemipteroid insects are the most common, including phloem-feeding aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, planthoppers, and leafhoppers. A majority of the emerging diseases challenging agriculture worldwide are insect borne, with those transmitted by whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) topping the list. Most damaging whitefly-transmitted viruses include begomoviruses (), criniviruses (), and torradoviruses (). Among the whitefly vectors, , now recognized as a complex of cryptic species, is the most harmful in terms of virus transmission. Here, we review the available information on the differential transmission efficiency of begomoviruses and other whitefly-borne viruses by different species of whiteflies, including the cryptic species of the complex. In addition, we summarize the factors affecting transmission of viruses by whiteflies and point out some future research prospects.
大多数植物病毒在自然界中需要生物媒介才能在植物间传播。在植物病毒的生物媒介中，半翅目昆虫最为常见，包括吸食韧皮部的蚜虫、粉虱、介壳虫、叶蝉和蝉。目前全球农业面临的大多数新发疾病都是由昆虫传播的，其中由粉虱（半翅目：粉虱科）传播的疾病位居首位。大多数危害性大的粉虱传播病毒包括双生病毒（）、曲叶病毒（）和番茄斑萎病毒（）。在粉虱媒介中， 现在被认为是一个隐种复合体，在病毒传播方面的危害最大。在这里，我们综述了不同粉虱种，包括 复合隐种，对双生病毒和其他粉虱传播病毒的不同传毒效率的相关信息。此外，我们总结了影响粉虱传播病毒的因素，并指出了一些未来的研究前景。
