[2] This virus is transmitted by an insect vector from the family Aleyrodidae and order Hemiptera, the whitefly Bemisia tabaci.

[4] This virus has similar coat protein structure and genome organization to that of other begomoviruses such as TYLCV.

[2] ChiLCV is transmitted by the insect vector Bemisia tabaci in a persistent-circulative nonpropagative manner.

In the case of mixed infections or pests such as thrips or mites, losses may be as severe as 90–100%,[6] but typically range from 20-50%.

[2] Treatments that are commonly used for this disease include insecticides, removing infected plants, and growing varieties with genetic resistance.
