La mouche blanche (Bemisia tabaci) est le vecteur de la mosaïque et de la striure brune du manioc. Sa population a toujours été faible dans les champs de manioc. En plus, cet insecte trés polyphage, n'avait jamais constitué d'une manière directe, une menace réelle à la culture du manioc en Afriqu...
