Notes: Our study is the first to provide a complete DNA barcode database for the entomofauna, including ants and natural enemies, associated with the CSSV disease in Côte d'Ivoire and, more generally, in West Africa. Based on intensive sampling in cocoa fields in Côte d’Ivoire, barcode sequences for 131 species of mealybugs, ants and natural enemies and 190 unique haplotype sequences are reported. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.13.e144017
