Abstract

The origin of introduction of the cabbage root fly, Delia radicum Linnaeus to the north-eastern coast of North America in the 19th century has been assumed to be from Europe. From that point of introduction, D. radicum gradually spread westward to occupy available ecological niches. DNA fingerprinting and egg micromorphology were used to determine the most likely geographical origin of the North American populations of this species. Forty-five informative RAPD loci obtained from ten primers and three criteria for egg micromorphology were studied. These characters indicated a common origin for the North American populations and a high similarity between populations from North America and north-western Europe. The results suggest a single entrance point of D. radicum into North America, probably via the north-eastern coast (New York area) from north-western Europe. The implications of this study in assisting selection of natural enemies of this important agricultural pest are discussed.
