Mealybugs (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae) harbor diverse microbial symbionts that play essential roles in host physiology, ecology, and evolution. In this study we aimed to reveal microbial communities associated with two different mealybugs, papaya mealybug (Paracoccus marginatus) and two-tailed mealybug (Ferrisia virgata) collected from the same host plant. Comparative analysis of microbial communities associated with these mealybugs revealed differences that appear to stem from phylogenetic associations and different nutritional requirements. This first report on both bacterial and fungal communities associated with these mealybugs provides a preliminary insight on factors affecting the endomicrobial communities.

캄보디아와 라오스에는 지금까지 가루깍지벌레과 25종 및 18종이 각각 보고되어 있다. 2015년 이들 지역에서 가루깍지벌레과14종이 채집 되었으며, 그 중 캄보디아에서 2종[Antonina graminis (Maskell, 1897), Coccidohystrix insolita (Green, 1908)], 라오스에서 5 종[Nipaecoccus viridis (Newstead, 1894), Paracoccus marginatus Williams & Granara de Willink, 1992, Phenacoccus solani (Ferris, 1918), Rastrococcus iceryoides (Green, 1908)]을 처음으로 보고한다.
