Achmad Himawan, Siti Subandiyah

Abstract


Huanglongbing (HLB) is a very destructive disease on citrus. Diaphorina citri is a HLB disease vector. The aim of this research is to detec bacterial community in the insect vector, especially D. citri males and females, using Polimerase Chain Reaction-Ribosomal Intergenic Spacer Analysis (PCR-RISA) method. The results of research show that there are 3 – 4 bacteria species in D. citri males and 1 – 4 bacteria species in D. citri females.

Keywords: Huanglongbing (HLB), citrus, Diaphorina citri, bacterial community, PCR- RISA
