Abstract: Begomovirus is a genus of highly destructive plant viruses that belongs to the family Geminiviriade and spreads through a single vector, the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. Although an old family of organisms, begomovirus has recently emerged as a potent threat to large-scale cultivation of crops. It is a threat with a very wide domain of influence and it can infect a very wide range of green plants cultivated for both sustenance and as cash crops.
