Keywords:
Notes: The genetic diversity and population genetics of the citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri Risso, 1813 (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), were investigated based on sequencing of mitochondrial DNA. Partial sequences of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene revealed five haplotypes in Turkey, with one of these (Hap 1) as the common haplotype, being present in 102 individuals. Based on these findings and those from earlier studies, it was hypothesize that demographic expansion has occurred in P. citri via the introduction of mealybugs by anthropogenic movements.
