| molecular discrimination of phytoseiids associated with the red palm mite raoiella indica (acari: tenuipalpidae) from mauritius and south florida. | phytoseiid populations imported from mauritius for evaluation for a classical biological control program in florida, usa, were morphologically identified as amblyseius largoensis muma, a species associated with the red palm mite in south florida and the caribbean. bayesian analysis and sequence divergences of the mitochondrial 12s rrna and nuclear elongation factor--i alpha (ef-iα) genes and neighbor-joining analysis of high-fidelity-rapd-pcr markers were used to discriminate between the south f ... | 2012 | 22527831 |
| overview of a classical biological control project directed against the red palm mite in florida. | information is provided on the steps involved in classical biological control programs, with an outline of the steps achieved in the classical biological control of the red palm mite, raoiella indica (acari: tenuipalpidae), in florida. an overview is provided of the results and an accompanying paper by bowman and hoy (2012) describes the molecular analyses conducted to characterize phytoseiid predators of the red palm mite collected from mauritius. the mauritius phytoseiids were identified as am ... | 2012 | 22456811 |
