Endosymbionts in Virus‐Transmitting Thrips and Their Disease Management Potential in Vegetable Ecosystems

Thrips cause severe yield losses in vegetable crops both as direct feeding pests and as vectors of plant viruses. Their ubiquitous distribution, broad host range, rapid reproduction, and ability to transmit orthotospoviruses in a persistent‐propagative manner make them highly efficient vectors. Increasing insectici...
