| Abstract: | Nineteen dinucleotide, two trinucleotide and two tetranucleotide microsatellite loci developed for the hen flea Ceratophyllus gallinae are presented. Twenty fleas were screened at each locus. Loci were polymorphic (three to nine alleles per locus). These markers will provide a system to study population segregation and diversity, gene flow, dispersal and inbreeding. |
