Clonal composition of colonies of a eusocial aphid, Ceratovacuna japonica

Sociobiology, 2015
High degrees of relatedness among colony mates and kin recognition ability are important factors maintaining eusociality. However, in eusocial aphids, clone mixing between different colonies is reported to occur frequently, suggesting a lack of kin ...

Amplified-Fragment Length Polymorphism Fingerprinting of Mycoplasma Species [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1999
ABSTRACT Amplified-fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) is a whole-genome fingerprinting method based on selective amplification of restriction fragments. The potential of the method for the characterization of mycoplasmas was investigated in a total of 50 strains of human and animal origin, including Mycoplasma ...

Molecular Epidemiology of Fonsecaea Species

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
To assess population diversities among 81 strains of fungi in the genus Fonsecaea that had been identified down to species level, we applied amplified fragment-length polymorphism (AFLP) technology and sequenced the internal transcribed spacer regions ...

Tularemia Outbreak, Bulgaria, 1997–2005

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
The 1997–2005 tularemia outbreak in Bulgaria affected 285 people. Ten strains were isolated from humans, a tick, a hare, and water. Amplified fragment length polymorphism typing of the present isolates and of the strain isolated in 1962 suggests that a ...

New Clonal Strain of Candida auris, Delhi, India

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
A new clonal strain of Candida auris is an emerging etiologic agent of fungemia in Delhi, India. In 12 patients in 2 hospitals, it was resistant to fluconazole and genotypically distinct from isolates from South Korea and Japan, as revealed by M13 and ...

Changes in AFLP and SSR DNA polymorphisms induced by short-term space flight of rice seeds

Biologia Plantarum, 2010
Differences of both amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) polymorphisms were compared between the 60-d-old rice (Oryza sativa L. cv.

Fluorescent amplified-fragment length polymorphism analysis of the MRSA epidemic [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2000
Genotypes and putative genetic relationships were characterised for epidemic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (EMRSA) strains and isolates from England and Wales, using a high resolution DNA fingerprinting technique, fluorescent amplified-fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP). Each of the phage types of EMRSA had a distinct FAFLP profile. The

Population structure of Salmonella investigated by amplified fragment length polymorphism [PDF]

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2004
This study was undertaken to investigate the usefulness of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) in determining the population structure of Salmonella.A total of 89 strains were subjected to AFLP analysis using the enzymes BglII and BspDI, a combination that is novel in Salmonella. Both species S. bongori and S. enterica and all subsp.

Amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP's)

Botanical Sciences, 1997
AFLP is a combination restriction fragment/PCR molecular marker technique which detects polymorphisms due to changes at or in the vicinity of restriction enzyme sites. The technique detects multiple polymorphic loci throughout the genome and may be used for fingerprinting and mapping purposes.

Epidemiology of Human Sporotrichosis Investigated by Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2005
ABSTRACT Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was used to analyze the genetic diversity of Peruvian strains of Sporothrix schenckii and to compare them to a panel of non-Peruvian strains. AFLP analysis suggests that the Peruvian strains can be divided into two homogeneous clusters with no ...
