Analysis of Genetic Diversity of AFLP Marker among Populations of Oncomelania hupensis / 中国寄生虫学与寄生虫病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the degree of genetic diversity among populations of Oncomelania hupensis. {Methods AFLP method} was used to amplify the genomic DNA of thirteen snail populations from nine provinces (i.e. Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Fujian, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu) and the genetic diversities among snail populations were analyzed. Results The number of AFLP fragments amplified ranged from 403 to 472 for thirteen Oncomelania populations. Among the thirteen snail populations, the genetic diversity within the population from Xingzi County, Jiangxi Province, was most significant, and the percentage of polymorphic loci, Nei’s genetic diversity and Shannon’s information index were 93
