Résumé

Red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790) is a destructive invasive pest that has caused extensive loss of palm trees worldwide. Moreover, recent studies have shown that the intestinal microbes residing in the gut have potential roles in pest fitness and nutrition assimilation. Nevertheless, experimental evidence on the relationships between RPW and its gut microbiota in addition to the exact effects of gut microbiota on the RPW phenotype and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. This study used Illumina HiSeq next-generation sequencing analysis focusing on clarifying the taxonomic profiles of gut microbiota in RPW larva and pupa. The study revealed that RPW harbours a rich and diversified microorganism assemblage that mainly includes bacteria belonging to Enterobacteriaceae, Lactobacillaceae, Erysipelotrichaceae, and Leuconostocaceae.
