ABSTRACT Phytophthora capsici is a diverse species causing disease on a broad range of both temperate and tropical plants. In this study, we used cultural characteristics, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), and DNA sequence analyses of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase II (cox II) genes to characterize temperate and tropical ...

We compared two methods to generate polymorphic markers to investigate the population genetics of Trypanosoma evansi; random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses. AFLP accessed many more polymorphisms than RAPD. Cluster analysis of the AFLP data showed that 12 T.evansi isolates were very similar ('type A') whereas 2 isolates dif...

Amplified fragment length polymorphisms are a PCR-based genetic tool used to mark the presence or absence of alleles in a DNA sample. This tool has typically been used for genetic analysis in plants, but research is now being done to see if it is a reliable source for paternity analysis in animals. Samples of Orconectes limosus were collected from Quinebaug River during a previous study and mat...
