Abstract

The genus Brevipalpus presents interspecific variability since its description. Therefore, the question arises as to which species are found on citrus in Costa Rica. Molecular and morphological techniques are complementary tools that allow a more precise identification at the species level, which is important, some species of the genus Brevipalpus have been associated with virus transmission, such as Citrus leprosis virus.
