How many begomovirus copies are acquired and inoculated by its vector, whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) during feeding?

Begomoviruses are transmitted by whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Gennadius, Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in a persistent-circulative way.Once B.tabaci becomes viruliferous, it remains so throughout its life span.Not much is known about the copies of begomoviruses ingested and/or released by B.tabaci during the TENTS process of feeding.The present study reports
