Abstract

The isolated DNA of Wolbachia present in whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleurodidae) collected from six different agroclimatic zones ofAssam, India were amplified through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using Wolbachia specific primer. A band in the range of 518-528 bp proved the presence of Wolbachia in the samples, which was further confirmed through BLAST analysis using the NCBI database. A phylogenetic analysis of the DNA sequences showed two subgroups of Wolbachia in the collected sample of B. tabaci. TheW2 cluster formed with four samples of Wolbachia showed 91% similarity with Wolbachia from Drosophila simulans.
