Brigham, Lindy: interactions of plants and microorganisms
Brown, Judith: Diversity and evolution of the genus Begomovirus (Geminiviridae); Biological types’ of the whitefly B. tabaci complex; Virus-vector specificity: functional genomics and proteomics; Geminivirus-vector interactions; Virus-derived RNAi resistance for crop protection; Molecular diagnostics for emergent virus-vector complexes.
