The majority of plant viruses rely on Hemipteran vectors for their survival and transmission. Moreover, many viruses can manipulate their insect vectors. In this context, the Electrical Penetration Graph (EPG) technique is a valuable tool for understanding how plant viruses, such as the begomovirus tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), modify the probing and feeding behavior of piercing-sucking insect vectors like the whitefly Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae).
大多数植物病毒依靠半翅目昆虫作为其生存和传播的媒介。此外，许多病毒能够操控它们的昆虫媒介。在这种情况下，刺探电位图谱（EPG）技术是一种有价值的工具，可用于了解诸如双生病毒番茄黄化曲叶病毒（TYLCV）等植物病毒如何改变刺吸式昆虫媒介如粉虱烟粉虱（半翅目：粉虱科）的刺探和取食行为。
