Differences in microbiota between two multilocus lineages of the sugarcane Aphid (Melanaphis sacchari) in the continental United States [PDF]
The sugarcane aphid (SCA), Melanaphis Sacchari (Zehntner) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), has been considered an invasive pest of sugarcane in the continental United States since 1977. Then, in 2013, SCA abruptly became a serious pest of U.S.
