The rice water weevil (RWW), Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus Kuschel, is one of the most destructive pests causing heavy rice yield loss worldwide. In the present study, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was used to analyze the genetic differentiation and transmission routes of 26 RWW geographical populations from Guizhou and 6 other provinces in China. The genetic distance between the 26 populations ranged from 0 to 0.693; the genetic distance between Guizhou and 6 other provinces populations varied from 0.043 to 0.693, with an average of 0.382. There was higher genetic variation among the populations from Guizhou and 6 other provinces compared with populations within Guizhou. The Mantel test showed no correlation between the genetic and geographical distances of the 26 populations. According to genetic distance, clustering, and time that RWW was found in these regions, we deduced that the pest entered Guizhou and spread in this province most likely via three routes: (1) from Hebei to Zunyi and southward to the south-central regions; (2) from Sichuan to Bijie and eastward to the central regions; and (3) from Yunnan through Anshun to the central regions and Qiandongnan prefecture. RWW spread in a natural manner, including flight, crawling, swimming, and by human-associated mechanisms, comprising dissemination through paddies and hay and hitchhiking on human transportations.
