Assessment of the cox1 mitochondrial DNA and 28S ribosomal RNA genes for distinguishing newly recorded Lucilia cuprina Wiedemann and the established Lucilia sericata Meigen (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in Northwest Africa
{{output}}
The mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) has long been suspected to be ineffective for species identification when employed alone. Some Lucilia (=Phaenicia) cuprina Wiedemann have mtDNA haplotypes closely resembling those of Lucilia sericat... ...
