ABSTRACT
Rapid and cost-efficient identification of Naupactus species is becoming a key process for the exportation of citrus fruit from Chile and other countries, considering the quarantine regulations for some species of the cosmopolitan genus Naupactus. This study deals with the development of a fast and sensitive detection protocol for Naupactus cervinus (Coleoptera Curculionidae) (Boheman) and Naupactus xanthographus (Coleoptera Curculionidae) (Germar) based on multiplex TaqMan Real-time polymerase chain reaction. Both N. cervinus and N. xanthographus primer and probe sets achieved species-specific detection in a linear range from 1 pg/µl to 1 × 10-6 pg/µl, allowing detection of as few as 160 copies of template DNA. Non-target amplifications were not detected and a panel composed of 480 test samples had 100% coincidence with the respective morphological identification.
