Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from the Chinese white wax scale Ericerus pela Chavannes (Homopetera: Coccidae)

摘要

Eight microsatellite loci were isolated using an enrichment protocol from?Ericerus pelaChavannes, representing the first microsatellite loci available for the white wax scale. All loci were polymorphic within?E. pela. Allele numbers range from six to eleven with the observed heterozygosity (HO) ranging from 0.0000 to 1.0000. These primers screened in this study provide a foundation for population genetic studies of the white wax scale.
