Abstract excerpt
The biting midge Culicoides peregrinus Kieffer is a significant pest and vector species, and knowledge of its genetic diversity and genetic structure is critically important for designing an effective control program. However, such information is limited to only small sample-size DNA barcoding studies. Therefore, in this study, we used mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) to examine genetic structure and...
