Distribution frequency of endosymbionts and genetic characterisation ofBemisia tabaci(Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) on Fabaceous host plants in India

Distribution and Mitotype Diversity of <i>Bemisia tabaci</i>

“…Samples from two different farmscapes within Pusa: New Delhi location are grouped and detected Asia II7 and the results are in support by Hashmi et al (2018) who previously reported that Asia II 1 and Asia II 7 are the leading genetic groups occurring in Delhi. The Asia II 7 cryptic species have been reported in a majority of Asian countries (Kanakala and Ghanim, 2019).…”

“…Asia II 1 genotype was found to be more prevalent, with widespread distribution over tropical, subtropical, and temperate zones of Indian subcontinent and showed the highest haplotype diversity, whereas Asia 1 genotype indicated the highest nucleotide diversity (Prasanna et al, 2015). The most common genetic groups in Delhi are Asia II 1 and Asia II 7 (Hashmi et al, 2018;Ahmed et al, 2010;Prabhulinga et al, 2020;Hameed et al, 2012). A deeper understanding of the distribution patterns of genetic variation, species diversity, haplotype variability is very much essential to design or formulate effective management approaches for the continually evolving B. tabaci cryptic species complex.…”
