Investigation of Wolbachia Bacteria in Different Insect Taxa

Arthropods are the most common living species considering their population densities and distribution. However, due to increasing world drought global warming, it is necessary develop environmentally friendly effective alternative strategies in terms of both health agricultural production, especially fight against harmful species. In this context, Wolbachia promising its relations with hosts. symbiotic structure arthropods varies differences such as climate, geography ecosystem. study, infection was investigated insects that differ conditions, hosts ecological niches: Drosohphila melanosgaster (Diptera: Drosophilidae), Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), Pulex irritans (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae), Eusomus ovulum (Coleoptera: Currioculionidae) Lariophagus distinguendus (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae). screened a specific Wspec F/R primer set identified according sequence data obtained PCR products. observed have widespread incidence studied. A supergroup found fleas, vinegar flies E. ovulum, B parsitoid bees whiteflies. This first study Turkey report presence thought presented here will contribute future studies.
