“…Ellenike Georgia (Greek Agriculture) (Athens), 5: 1-3. Quaintance, 1900 Bemisia tabaci is a well known devastating sucking pest of cotton, tobacco etc., and also is well known as a vector of virus diseases on several crops in various parts of the tropics. This species has many synonyms because the structure of the pupal case is highly variable and dependent upon the form of the host plant leaf.…”

“…The first B. tabaci in the New World were collected in 1897 in the United States on sweetpotato. It was originally described as Aleyrodes inconspicua Quaintance and given the common name of sweetpotato whitefly (Quaintance, 1900). In 1928, it was found in Brazil on Euphorbia hirtella and described as B. costalimai Bondar (Mound and Halsey, 1978).…”

Bemisia tabaci was described over 100 years ago and has since become one of the most important pests worldwide in subtropical and tropical agriculture as well as in greenhouse production systems. It adapts easily to new host plants and geographical regions and has now been reported from all global continents except Antarctica. In the last decade, international transport of plant material and people have contributed to geographical spread. B. tabaci has been recorded from more than 600 plant species and there may be many additional hosts not yet formally documented. Biotypes have been identified in different areas of the world suggesting that B. tabaci may be a species-complex undergoing evolutionary change. These biotypes may exhibit differences in viruses transmitted and transmission efficiency, rates of development, endosymbionts, host utilization, and physiological host damage. Excessive B. tabaci induced losses worldwide occur in field, vegetable and ornamental crop production. Losses occur from plant diseases caused by B. tabaci transmitted viruses, direct feeding damage, plant physiological disorders, and honeydew contamination and associated fungal growth. The number of B. tabaci-transmitted plant viruses has increased, and total yield losses of important food and industrial crops has occurred. Effective control at present is dependent on insecticides. However, this has been achieved with more selective chemistries, use of action thresholds, and resistance management. Host plant resistance and various cultural methods are also components of developing integrated management systems. National and international collaborative projects have made significant progress towards improved characterization of the whitefly problem, increased research, development of management methods, transfer of technology to the agricultural communities, and information exchange. These projects, as well as intensive education, research and extension activities form the basis for biologically and ecologically based approaches to management. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

“…Although this species was reported over 100 years ago in the US (Quaintance 1900) it did not rise to general pest status in the US until introduction and spread of the Old World ''B'' biotype in the late 1980s (Stansly and Naranjo 2010). In response, Old World species of aphelinid parasitoids in the genus Eretmocerus were released in the southern US during the 1990s, became established and largely displaced native congeners (Gould et al 2008).…”

Eretmocerus sudanensis = E. nr. emirates was released in 1992 into South Florida from Sudan to control Bemisia tabaci. It has since become the dominant Eretmocerus species in southwest Florida. Specimens were recovered at the Southwest Florida Research and Education Center in Collier County from a population of B. tabaci on collard Brassica oleracea, and the parasitoid described as new species, though as yet unpublished. Here we report results of studies conducted to evaluate the biology of this parasitoid of B. tabaci biotype B under laboratory controlled conditions (26°C ± 0.5, 13 h light, 62% ± 6 HR). No preoviposition period was observed for E. sudanensis. Females lived an average of 13.2 days and in this time deposited an average of 161 eggs at a mean oviposition rate of 13 eggs per day. The total compared favorably with published values for E. melanoscutus (123 eggs) and was similar to E. mundus (171 eggs). E. sudanensis showed the same tendencies of preference and suitability for the intermediate host stages (2nd and 3rd) as reported for these same 2 species. However, parameters such as development time from egg to adult (16 days) and net reproductive rate (Ro = 91.3 eggs/female) were shorter and greater, respectively, compared to published results for either E. melanoscutus or E. mundus under similar conditions. Such differences in demographic parameters could indicate a significantly greater reproductive potential for E. sudanensis.
