Morphological And Molecular Characterization

Some vine mealybug, <em>Planococcus ficus </em>(Signoret) populations in Tunisian vineyards have been morphologically and genetically characterized. The morphological examination was based on the main distinctive characteristics of species of <em>Planococcus</em>, namely the number and distribution of the multilocular disc pores and tubular ducts on the adult female. This showed the existence of two different vine mealybug populations in Tunisia. Likewise, in the molecular analyses, two separate clades were revealed in the neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree, supporting the morphological studies and suggesting that there are two distinct populations of <em>P. ficus</em> on grapevine in Tunisia.

Vine Mealybug

The vine mealybug, Planococcus ficus (Signoret), and the citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri (Risso), are currently the most economically important pseudococcids in vineyards in Italy (Dalla Montà et al., 2001).  Pl. ficus is also considered to be a key pest in many other countries (Ben-Dov, 1994).  The two species cause severe damage to the host plant, and significantly reduce the crop due to the production of honeydew, which allows the growth of sooty molds, and to their potential as virus vectors.  The vine mealybug, in particular, is known to transmit grapevine leafroll and corky-bark diseases (Engelbrecht & Kasdorf, 1990; Tanne et al., 1989).
