Diabrotica virgifera virgifera (Western corn rootworm) Assembly and Gene Annotation

About Diabrotica virgifera virgifera

The Western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, is one of the most devastating corn rootworm species in North America, especially in the midwestern corn-growing areas such as Iowa. A related species, the Northern corn rootworm, D. barberi, co-inhabits in much of the range and is fairly similar in biology.
