Abstract

Bactericera cockerelli is a pest of economic importance in Solanaceae in Mexico, due to the yellowings that causes in crops, as well as the transmission of Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum. Genetic variants of this insect are described, which are related to its ability to serve as a vector. In Mexico, the distribution of B. cockerelli is very wide and information about its morphological and genetic characteristics is lacking. The objective of this research was to characterize B. cockerelli morphologically and genetically and detect the presence of Ca. L. solanacearum in populations of B. cockerelli from Solanaceae-producing areas in Mexico. For which 35 locations from 13 states were sampled, on chili, tomato, eggplant and potato crops, under different production systems. The variables body length (LC), abdomen length (LAB), and abdomen width (AAB) were measured in insects of each population, the presence of Ca. L. solanacearum was detected in the 13 sampled states, where males had the highest percentage of positive insects. The presence of Ca. L. solanacearum was not influenced by the host or production system, but by the presence of B. cockerelli.
