Abstract

The present work deals with identification of whitefly Bemisia !abaci (Germ.) strains in Egypt using the ability to induce silver leafing on squash leaves, easterase analysis by native polyaerylarnide gel electrophoresis and DNA analysis by was of RAPD-PCR, This work was aimed to determine if B. tabaci biotype B is present in Egypt. Results indicated that B. tabaci Biotype B among samples collected from Qalubiya an Lantana camera.
