  abstract = {{A}n extensive survey was conducted in the major crop producing regions of {F}rance, {S}pain, {G}reece, {T}unisia and {M}orocco from 2003 to 2010, to determine the geographical distribution of the {B}emisia tabaci {G}ennadius ({H}emiptera: {A}leyrodidae) complex in the {M}editerranean basin. {B}ased on diagnostic and highly discriminatory molecular markers (mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase {I}, {COI}, gene sequences and nuclear microsatellites) and multiple complementary genetic diagnostic approaches including population assignment and phylogenetic reconstruction, the two worldwide invasive members of the complex, {M}ed and {MEAM}1 species, were shown to be present, with {M}ed being the most prevalent. {I}n addition, the sub-{S}aharan {A}frica 2 ({SSA}2) species was, for the first time, reported in {S}outhern {F}rance in 2007 on soybean and nightshade either alone or in sympatry with {B}. tabaci populations of the middle-eastern {M}editerranean group (i.e., {Q}2 {M}ed). {T}his first occurrence of {SSA}2 in {F}rance, although detected in a relatively small area illustrates the capacity of multiple members of the {B}. tabaci complex to invade new regions, and emphasizes the possible risk caused by the entry of a new species, such as the {SSA}2 species, in the {M}editerranean area.},
