Abstract

Abstract: Bemisia tabaci is a species complex consisting of various genetically different cryptic species worldwide. To understand the genetic characteristics and geographic distribution of cryptic species of B. tabaci in Asia, we conducted an extensive collection of B. tabaci samples in ten Asian countries (Bangladesh, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam) from 2013 to 2020 and determined 56 different partial sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I ( COI ) DNA. In addition, information on 129 COI sequences of B. tabaci identified from 16 Asian countries was downloaded from the GenBank database. Among the total 185 COI sequences of B. tabaci, the sequence variation reached to 19.68%. In addition, there were 31 cryptic species updated from 16 countries in Asia, that is, Asia I, Asia I India, Asia II (1–13), Asia III, Asia IV, Asia V, China 1−6, MEAM (1, 2, K), MED, Australia/Indonesia, Japan (1 and 2). Further, MED cryptic species consisted of 2 clades, Q1 and Q2. This study provides updated information to understand the genetic variation and geographic diversity of B. tabaci in Asia. Abstract : We identified the presence of 31 cryptic species of Bemisia tabaci from 16 countries in Asia. This study provides updated information to understand the genetic variation and geographic diversity of B. tabaci in Asia. Research highlights: The Bemisia tabaci is a species complex consisting of various cryptic species worldwide. We identified the presence of 31 cryptic species from 16 countries in Asia. This study provides updated information to understand the genetic variation and geographic diversity of B. tabaci in Asia.
