Abstract

Outbreak of Locusta migratoria occurred in Ladakh during 2006 which was mainly responsible for devastation of large pasture land and agriculture, which seriously affected phasmina wool industry.Molecular characterization of specimens of Locusta migratoria collected from the Loma area of Ladakh (J &K) revealed that they belong to the subspecies Locusta migratoria migratoria.Mitochondrial 16S r RNA gene sequencing showed 99 % similarity with the subspecies migratoria and 98% similarity with subspecies manilensis.
