Figure 1
A map of sampling sites and countries from which Helicoverpa armigera and H. zea were obtained for this study.
Three populations of H. zea (blue filled circles) were from the Mato Gosso (MT) state of Brazil at Primavera do Leste (PL), and from New York State and North Carolina (United States). Sites where H. armigera were sampled are represented by red filled circles, and included the African continent (Burkina Faso and Uganda), India, China (Shandong Province) and Australia. Detailed sites within India were Abohar (A), Mansa (M), Bhatinda (B), Nagpur (N), Hingoli (H), Yavatmal (Y), Karimnagar (K), Warangal (W), Prakasam (P), and Coimbatore (C). Within Australia the Warribee (W), Dalmore (D) and Orbost (O) populations were from the state of Victoria. Individuals of H. armigera detected from Brazil in this study were from the MT state at Primavera do Leste (PL) and at Pedra Preta (PP).
