Research Interests
Research Interests
My research interests focus on red palm weevil and begomoviruses and associated satellites and their whitefly vector. The goal is to use biotechnologies to reduce chemical pesticides in management of these insect pests and begomoviral diseases.
Selected Publications
Idris, AM, NM Abdullah and JK Brown 2012. Leaf curl diseases of two solanaceous species in Southwest Arabia are caused by a monopartite begomovirus evolutionarily most closely related to a species from the Nile Basin and unique suite of betasatellites. Virus Research (in press).
Idris, AM, M.S. Shahid, RW Briddon, AJ Khan, J-K Zhu and JK Brown 2011. An unusual alphasatellite associated with monopartite begomoviruses attenuates symptoms and reduces betasatellite accumulation. Journal of General Virology 92:706-717.

Idris, AM, K Mills-Lujan, K Martin, and JK Brown 2008. Melon chlorotic leaf curl virus: characterization and differential reassortment with closest relatives reveals adaptive virulence in the Squash leaf curl virus clade, and host shifting by the host-restricted Bean calico mosaic virus.
