چکیده

background: as for human trichomoniasis the host-parasite relationship is very complex, and the broad ranges of clinical symptoms are unlikely be attributable to a single pathogenic mechanism. specific random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) markers of 490 bp, 720 bp and 460 bp using the primers tv-5, opa-6 and opa-11, respectively, were reported. this was the first description of possible ge­netic virulence markers of the infection by t. vaginalis . the aim of this study was to characterize the specific rapd markers in order to elucidate their importance on virulence of this illness. methods: the selected specific rapd fragments were cloned and sequenced. the obtained sequences were compared by the blast algorithm. results: the nucleotide sequence of the tv-5 490 rapd marker exhibited signifi­cant similarity to t. vaginalis hypothetical g3 leucine rich repeat (lrr) family pro­tein (e-value: 6e-14) and giardia lamblia leucine rich repeat protein 1 virus receptor protein (e-value: 6e-14 and 2e-12) ; however, the opa-6 720 and opa-11 460 showed no significant similarity with any coding published sequence. all the evaluated strains showed the presence of the lrr gene. conclusion: these results demonstrate a possible role of this gene in the viru­lence of t. vaginalis and in the parasite infection with trichomonas virus as a possible virus receptor. further analysis of this gene and encoded protein will allow determin­ing the role that they play in the isolates virus susceptible or resistant pheno­types.

Identification of species-specific RAPD markers in genus Cenchrus.

Cenchrus is an important component of major grass cover of world. Similar to the other major tropical grasses most of the species in genus Cenchrus are also apomictic in nature hence correct and precise identification of accessions and species are problematic and dubious. In the present study 187 decamer oligonucleotide primers were tested for PCR-based DNA amplification of six prominent specie...

Screening and Characterization of RAPD Markers in Viscerotropic Leishmania Parasites

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is mainly due to the Leishmania donovani complex. VL is endemic in many countries worldwide including East Africa and the Mediterranean region where the epidemiology is complex. Taxonomy of these pathogens is under controversy but there is a correlation between their genetic diversity and geographical origin. With steady increase in genome knowledge, RAPD is still a ...

Genetic diversity of Fusarium semitectum isolates from rice, using RAPD and REP-PCR markers

In order to determine genetic variability among 33 isolates of Fusarium semitectum, morpho- logical and molecular studies were carried out. Isolates from different paddy fields in the north of Iran were separated from each other in four morphotype groups. The isolates showed a high level of variation in aerial mycelium, color of colony, number of septa and growth rate on potato dextrose agar (P...
