| identification of reticulitermes spp. (isoptera: reticulitermatidae) from south central united states by pcr-rflp. | because of morphological ambiguity, traditional identification of reticulitermes holmgren termites has always been difficult and unreliable. a molecular diagnostic method is presented for differentiating reticulitermes species occurring in the south central united states, which are economically important urban pests. a 379-bp region of the mtdna coii gene and a 415-bp region of the mtdna 16s rrna gene were amplified using polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and sequenced from reticulitermes flavipes ... | 2003 | 14650526 |
