Polymorphic microsatellite markers for the human oomycete pathogen Pythium insidiosum

We describe the development and characterization of microsatellite loci from the human oomycete pathogen Pythium insidiosum. Nine of 15 microsatellite loci were shown to be appropriate for population genetic study. All loci were polymorphic with observed heterozygosities ranging from 0.241 to 0.912...

Description
Summary:We describe the development and characterization of microsatellite loci from the human oomycete pathogen Pythium insidiosum. Nine of 15 microsatellite loci were shown to be appropriate for population genetic study. All loci were polymorphic with observed heterozygosities ranging from 0.241 to 0.912 and from five to 18 alleles per locus among 65 individuals in Thailand. These markers are being used to ascertain multilocus genotypes for molecular epidemiological and population genetic analyses of this little known human pathogen. © 2007 The Authors.
