Abstract

The results of the study of three genes, COI, COII and 18S rDNA, of the quarantine pest Bactrocera dorsalis are presented; applicability of these genes for rapid molecular diagnosis is assessed. It is shown that the mitochondrial COI and COII genes are suitable for this purpose while the nuclear 18S rDNA gene is not.
