Resumen
In September 2008, a survey of whiteflies and whitefly-borne viruses was performed in 11 pepper-growing greenhouses in the province of Cartago, Costa Rica. During this survey, the vast majority of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum cv. Nataly) plants showed interveinal chlorosis, enations, necrosis, and mild upward leaf curling. Large populations of whiteflies were present and they were found to be composed only of Trialeurodes vaporariorum.
