Microsatellite loci from the trematode Lecithochirium fusiforme
نویسندگان
چکیده
Seven polymorphic loci containing dinucleotide repeats and one trinucleotide microsatellite were developed for the hemiurid fluke Lecithochirium fusiforme , a parasite of the European conger eel Conger conger . All parasites that were collected from a single individual host (a total of 54 specimens) were genotyped. The number of alleles ranged from two to eight. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.057 to 0.736 and from 0.091 to 0.794, respectively. Hardy–Weinberg deviations were statistically significant for two loci. These markers will be useful for study of parasite transmission patterns and population genetic structure.

Helminth parasites from the stomach of conger eel, Conger conger, from Madeira Island, Atlantic Ocean.
Geographic variations in the diversity and prevalence of helminth parasites of fish can provide important clues as to the relatedness of fish populations. In the present work, the stomachs of 64 conger eels, Conger conger, collected during 1999 and 2000, were examined for the presence of parasites. Four fish were infected with L3 stages of the nematode Anisakis simplex s.l. (Anisakidae), 1 with...
متن کاملMicrosatellite loci for the New Zealand trematode Maritrema novaezealandensis
Seven polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from the coastal New Zealand trematode Maritrema novaezealandensis , an important driving force in the population dynamics of its snail and crustacean intermediate hosts. Observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.33 to 0.82, and three to 17 alleles were detected in 22 trematode sporocysts. These loci will be integral for identi...
متن کاملMicrosatellite loci for the progenetic trematode, Coitocaecum parvum (Opecoelidae)
Nine polymorphic microsatellite loci were characterized from the freshwater trematode Coitocaecum parvum . This parasite can either reproduce sexually in the definitive host or produce eggs by selfing inside its second intermediate host. Two to 11 alleles per locus were detected in 24 trematode sporocysts and observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.04 to 0.96. These loci will be useful for iden...
متن کاملEleven polymorphic microsatellite loci for the salmonid trematode Plagioporus shawi
We isolated and characterized 11 microsatellite loci from Plagioporus shawi , a parasitic trematode of salmonid fishes ( Oncorhynchus spp.). Extensive polymorphism (expected heterozygosities ranging from 0.476 to 0.981 and number of alleles from 10 to 55) was found in a sample of 94 trematodes from 24 infected cutthroat trout ( Oncorhynchus clarki ) individuals. Nine of the 11 loci will be usef...
متن کاملTen polymorphic microsatellite loci for the trematode Curtuteria australis (Echinostomatidae).
Ten polymorphic loci were isolated and characterised from the intertidal New Zealand trematode Curtuteria australis. This common parasite manipulates the burrowing behaviour of its abundant bivalve host Austrovenus stutchburyi, with cascading impacts on the biodiversity of intertidal communities. Observed heterozygosities of the 10 loci ranged from 0.500 to 0.905, and three to 14 alleles were d...
