This paper characterizes the microbiome and feeding behavior of the two-spot cotton leaf hopper, revealing low bacterial diversity dominated by Wolbachia and a mesophyll feeding pattern.

The paper analyzes thrips genomes and their interactions with orthotospoviruses, identifying protein-protein interactions that may facilitate virus transmission.

This study identifies a whitefly phosphodiesterase (PDE4) that interacts with begomovirus capsid proteins and modulates virus retention and transmission by regulating intracellular cAMP levels.
