Detecting Domestic Dog in Diet of Leopard Using DNA Tools
Authors
Abstract:
The leopard (Panthera pardus) as an adaptable felid widely distributed in varied ecosystems of Iran. The Golestan Natural Park is one of the main habitats of leopard in the country. It has divers diet and preying various types of preys such as wild ungulate and livestock. The prey remains’ samples of leopard were collected and preserved using ethanol 96% and whole genomic DNA was extracted. The Control region of mtDNA was PCR-amplified using primers L15995 and H16498. In this study, we identified domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) in diet of leopard in Golestan National Park by means of sequencing the control region of mtDNA. It is the first record that reveals domestic dog in the diet of leopard in Iran, although many different preys have been detected in other studies except dog. Existence of dog in leopard’s diet is remarkable while many favourite preys of leopard exist in the same habitat.

Within some of these buildings it seems that time has taken a giant step backwards. The figures bent over their computer consoles are engaged in much the same quest as the frock-coated microscopists and Dodo-stuffers of bygone years; they are today's taxonomists, though their raw materials are of course sequences rather than morphological features, and statistical models and ingenious computer ...

The serum or plasma biochemical profile is essential in the diagnosis and monitoring of systemic disease in veterinary medicine, but current reference intervals typically take no account of breed-specific differences. Breed-specific hematological phenotypes have been documented in the domestic dog, but little has been published on serum biochemical phenotypes in this species. Serum biochemical ...
