The present invention relates to: a probe composition, a DNA chip and a kit whereby whitefly types and/or biotypes can be distinguished and identified in a way which is simple, quick and accurate by analysing genotypes on the basis of single nucleotide polymorphism present in the COI gene region in the mitochondrial DNA of Bemisia tabaci and Trialeurodes vaporariorum; and a whitefly classification method using same. The present invention makes it possible to classify Bemisia tabaci and Trialeurodes vaporariorum and to identify Bemisia tabaci biotypes in a simple fashion merely by loading, onto a single slide, whitefly samples of which the whitefly type cannot be accurately identified using the naked eye, including even samples of larvae, artifacts or powder, and the present invention makes it possible to test large volumes of samples within a short time while substantially reducing the time taken to analyse samples as compared with conventional methods. |
