Keywords:
Notes: The present study aimed at characterizing the diversity and distribution of mealybug species infesting Chilean agro-ecosystems, including both vineyards and deciduous fruit crops. An extensive survey was completed between Atacama and the Northern part of Biobío (covering most cultivated areas in Chile) and using DNA barcoding methods to identify mealybug samples to the species level. Moreover, a fine-scale study of Ps. viburni genetic diversity and population connectivity was carried out using microsatellite markers. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep16483
