The Laodelphax striatellus(SBPH) (Homoptera:Delphacidae) is a major rice insect pest in Asia. It brings the indirect damage by transmitting Rice Stripe Virus (RSV) and Rice Black-Streaked Dwarf Virus (RBSDV). Molecular markers for genetics studies will be very helpful for dynamics of SBPH and viruses. For surveying genetic variation among populations of SBPH by microsatellite analyses, we used an enrichment strategy to develop microsatellite markers from SBPH. Eight polymorphic microsatellite loci were selected to characterize genetic structuring of SBPH populations.
