Rapid and cost-efficient identification of Naupactus species is becoming a key process for the exportation of citrus fruit from Chile and other countries, considering the quarantine regulations for some species of the cosmopolitan genus Naupactus. This study deals with the development of a fast and sensitive detection protocol for Naupactus cervinus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (Boheman) and Naupactus xanthographus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (Germar) based on multiplex TaqMan Real-time polymerase chain reaction. Both N. cervinus and N. xanthographus primer and probe sets achieved species-specific detection in a linear range from 1 pg/μl to 1 × 10-6 pg/μl, allowing detection of as few as 160 copies of template DNA. Non-target amplifications were not detected and a panel composed of 480 test samples had 100% coincidence with the respective morphological identification.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001517 Coleoptera Order of winged insects also known as beetles comprising over 350,000 species in 150 families. They possess hard bodies with mouthparts adapted for chewing. Beetles,Beetle
D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
