Genetic Diversity in Populations of Mediterranean Fruit Flies in North-Eastern Brazil

This study aimed at determining the population genetic structure of Mediterranean fruit flies (Ceratitis capitata) in North-eastern Brazil, so as to improve our understanding viability inter-simple sequences repeat (ISSR) markers Brazilian populations, along with inferences on composition which can be used management programs. For this, ISSR were groups collected from four municipalities this region. Primers polymorphic, revealing moderate expected heterozigosity, 80% variation occurring within populations and structure. Bayesian analysis revealed K = 3, consistent pairwise FST indicating low between Barra do Choça Planalto, Caraíbas Planalto. Data indicated high diversity, suggesting two interpretations: analyzed arose a single are now under structuring processes, or had different origins, but currently connected by gene flow. Thus, primers affective obtaining information about C. capitata evidenced polymorphism separation grouping according their allelic compositions. Furthermore, paper provides useful for flow region developing regional strategies control species.
