Our research focuses insect vector-pathogen interactions on the biological and molecular levels. we focus on whiteflies and psyllids. We also study insect pest resistance to pesticides. Bacterial symbionts of B. tabaci and other insects are in the center of our interests as they have fundamental roles in virus transmission and in many aspects of the biology of insects, and can serve as excellent platform for developing novel methods for future insect and pathogen transmission control.
