binhm-1217	Eyas Yaseen Al-Jboory; Feryal Bahjat Hermize	MORPHOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR STUDY OF TWO SPECIES OF CARPOMYA COSTA, 1854 (DIPTERA, TEPHRITIDAE) INFESTING SIDR FRUITS IN BAGHDAD, IRAQ	2025	12	.pdf	application/pdf	4124	237	51	and provide the first molecular record of C. vesuviana in Iraq, as no previous molecular records of C. vesuviana have been established in Iraq and, building on the previous work by Tahir and Alyousuf (2023) who were the first to molecularly record C. incompleta in Basrah Province, this research will provide the first molecular record for C. incompleta specifically in Baghdad Province, utilizing PCR technology with the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene and submit the obtained genetic sequences to the global GenBank database to establish a reliable genetic reference for the studied species and construct a phylogenetic tree using the submitted genetic sequences and compare the degree of genetic relatedness between the local Iraqi samples and those previously recorded in global databases like GenBank, or those from neighboring countries, to determine their genetic proximity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study area: The specimens of infested sidr fruits were collected from different orchards belonging to both Radwaniya and Abu Ghraib Districts in Baghdad Province in a sampling which was conducted over a six-month period, from December 2024 to May 2025. These clades demonstrated strong statistical support, clearly separating C. vesuviana and C. incompleta.	cache/binhm-1217.pdf	txt/binhm-1217.txt
