Identification of mealybug pest species (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in Egypt and France, using a DNA barcoding approach

Abstract: Pseudococcidae (mealybugs) is a large taxonomic group, including a number of agronomic pests. Taxonomic identification of mealybug species is a recurrent problem and represents a major barrier to the establishment of adequate pest management strategies. We combined molecular analysis of three DNA markers (28S-D2, cytochrome oxidase I and internal transcribed spacer 2) with morphological examination, for the identification of 176 specimens collected from 40 mealybug populations infesting various crops and ornam… Show more

“…For LCO-19, 28S-09 and 16S-10, we observed hits with similarities of 94, 96 and 97%, respectively, with Pseudococcus comstocki Kuwana from Malausa et al . [23] and Abd-Rabou et al [17].…”

“…Except for the first region of the COI gene (the LCO-HCO region used in most international DNA barcoding projects), for which we used an updated version of the primers [17], we followed the protocol described by Malausa et al . [23].…”

“…The third one, hereafter referred to as COI, is located in the mitochondrial region of Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit I. For COI, we amplified three overlapping fragments previously used in several molecular studies on Pseudococcidae (Malausa et al, 2011;Park et al, 2011;Abd-Rabou et al, 2012), covering in total ~1050 bp. The sequences of the primers used to amplify each region are provided in Table 1. PCR were performed using the Qiagen Multiplex PCR kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany), in a reaction volume of 25 µL.…”
