Abstract:To explore the feasibility of DNA barcoding in the identification of sandflies, the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) genes of 9 dominant species in China from three genera in the Phlebotominae were studied. The intraspecies and interspecies genetic distances were calculated using the Kimura-2-parameter model, and the phylogenetic trees were reconstructed by neighbor-joining (NJ) method. Results showed that all of sandflies species were successfully distinguished by the phylogenetic trees. The average intraspecific genetic distance (0.8%) was much less than the average interspecific genetic distance (11.2%). The study based on COI sequences indicates that the sandflies from China could be well distinguished with the commonly used COI barcodes, which are potentially well utilized in sandflies species identification.
