K.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBegomoviruses are one of the most  interesting plant viruses to study for basic and applied research as they cause  huge economic losses to agriculture industries and farmers all over the world.  They belong to  family Geminiviridae and are  emergent plant viral pathogens which cause diseases in various crops in the  tropical and subtropical regions. They are transmitted by the whitefly (\u003ci\u003eB. tabac\u003c\/i\u003ei) and have either one  (monopartite DNA-A) or two (bipartite DNA-A and  DNA-B) genomic  components. DNA-A and DNA-B are of ~2600 - 2800 nucleotides each. A  number of serious diseases of cultivated crops of the Fabaceae,  Malvaceae, Solanaceae and  Cucurbitaceae families  are caused by Begomoviruses  which are considered as threat to their cultivation in many  countries.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAccurate diagnosis is important  for successful diseases management, since plants infected by \u003ci\u003eBegomovirus \u003c\/i\u003edo not recover, suffer\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e serious  yield losses and act as further sources of inoculum, which is then picked up and  spread by their vector whitefly (\u003ci\u003eB.  tabaci\u003c\/i\u003e). Reports of occurrence of new  viruses and re-emergence of several known viruses in new niches have become  regular event. In such a dynamic system, growth of several crop species relies  on an accurate diagnosis, management and  better understanding of the biology of the casual virus. This is crucial to  evolve appropriate control practices and to prevent the virus infection.  Researchers have achieved considerable progress in characterization, detection  and management of virus on different crop species in the last  decade.\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis book covers latest  information in diagnosis of begomoviruses in the present scenario and explores the new vistas in the field of genomics and  proteomics. Chapters in Section 1 illustrates the occurrence, genome  organisation, transmission and diagnostics of begomoviruses. It also details the\u003c\/div\u003e  diseases caused by begomoviruses on different crops, detection techniques and management strategies in support of research findings by presentation of data,  graphics, figures and tables. Section 2 is a chapterwise collection of  occurrence, diversity and status of begomoviruses in Asian Africa counties where  the diseases are most prevalent. This book will provide wide opportunity to the  readers to have complete information and status of begomovirus in Asia and  Africa. This will be useful resource for researchers and extension workers  involved in the begomvirus disease diagnosis and molecular biology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eExpert detection, accurate  diagnosis and timely management play a significant role in keeping plants free  from pathogens.
