Abstract
Phoresy of the mite Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) on the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) is reported for the first time in Venezuela. This relation was detected in plants of cucumber Cucumis sativus L. var. poinsett-76 (Cucurbitaceae) and sesame Sesamun indicum L. var. INIA-1 (Pedaliaceae) at “Experta Experimental Station”, Agronomy School, Universidad Central de Venezuela, Maracay, Aragua state. This shows the important role that might play B. tabaci adults in the transportation and dispersion of a poliphagous pest as P. latus.
