Prays oleae (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae or Praydidae?) be a Species’ Complex?
Pazian, Marlon; Nobre, Tânia; Blibech, Imen; Rei, FernandoPrays oleae is the second most important pest in Mediterranean olive groves, causing substantial damage on olive production. We used mitochondrial [cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (nad5)] and nuclear [ribosomal protein S5 (RpS5)] amplicons to assess the population variability in five main olive producing regions from Tunisia, to support or dismiss the existence of two non-...

The mitochondrial genome of Prays oleae (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Praydidae).
Asch, Barbara; Blibech, Imen; Pereira-Castro, Isabel; Rei, Fernando; Costa, LuísPrays oleae is one of the most important olive tree pests and a species of interest in evolutionary studies, as it belongs to one of the oldest extant superfamilies of Ditrysian Lepidoptera. We determined its mitogenome sequence, and found it has common features for Lepidoptera, e.g. an 480% A + T content, an apparent CGA start codon for COX1 and an ATAGA(T)n motif in the control region, which also contains sev...

Herz, A.; Hassan, Sherif Ali; Hegazi, Esmat Mohamed; Khafagi, Wedad Emam; Nasr, Feeby N.; Youssef, A.; Agamy, Essam A.; Blibech, Imen; Ksentini, I.A survey of egg parasitoids of the genus Trichogramma (Hymenoptera, Trichogrammatidae) was carried out in olive groves in Portugal, Greece, Egypt, and Tunisia during the years 2002–2004. Parasitoids were obtained either by exposing sentinel eggs (Sitotroga cerealella Olivier or Ephestia kuehniella Zeller) on olive trees or by collecting eggs of lepidopterous olive pests. Parasitized egg samples were reared sepa...
