Population Genetics Of New World Screwworm From The Caribbean: Insights From Microsatellite Data
Diseases affecting livestock can have a significant impact on animal productivity and on trade of live animals, meat and other animal products, which, consequently, affects the overall process of economic development. The New World screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), is an important parasitic insect pest in Neotropical regions. This species has been successfully eradicated from North and most of Central America by the sterile insect technique, but continues to affect the development of the livestock sector in most Caribbean economies. Here, we provide some insight into the patterns of genetic variation and structure and gene flow of C. hominivorax populations from the Caribbean. Analysis of populations from 10 geographical sites in four islands revealed a moderate genetic variability within the populations. Surprisingly, a high population differentiation was found even in intra-island comparisons between populations. This observation can reflect either highly structured populations resulting from a lack of gene flow or a source-sink dynamic. Our study also suggests that New World screwworm populations can recover very rapidly from population contractions. This is valuable information that should be required prior to any investment in large-scale efforts aiming at controlling this pest. © 2009 The Royal Entomological Society.23SUPPL. 12331Azeredo-Espin, A.M.L., Lessinger, A.C., Genetic approaches for studying myiasis-causing flies: Molecular markers and mitochondrial genomics (2006) Genetica, 126, pp. 111-131Bonizzoni, M., Malacrida, A.R., Guglielmino, C.R., Gomulski, L.M., Gasperi, G., Zheng, L., Microsatellite polymorphism in the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (2000) Insect Molecular Biology, 9, pp. 251-261Bundy, D.A.P., Grey, C.L., Occurrence and distribution of protozoan parasites in Caribbean livestock - A review (1982) Tropical Animal Health and Production, 14, pp. 235-241Callen, D.F., Thompson, A.D., Shen, Y., Phillips, H.A., Richards, R.I., Mulley, J.C., Sutherland, G.R., Incidence and origin of 'null' alleles in the (AC) n microsatellite marker (1993) American Journal of Human Genetics, 52, pp. 922-927Cornuet, J.M., Luikart, G., Description and power analysis of two tests for detecting recent population bottlenecks from allele frequency data (1996) Genetics, 144, pp. 2001-2014Dieringer, D., Schlötterer, C., Microsatellite analyser (MSA): A platform-independent analysis tool for large microsatellite datasets (2003) Molecular Ecology Notes, 3, pp. 167-169Dyck, V.A., Reyes Flores, J., Vreysen, J.B., Al, E., Management of area-wide integrated pest management programmes that integrate the sterile insect technique (2005) Sterile Insect Technique: Principles and Practice in Area-Wide Integrated Pest Management, pp. 525-545. , ed. by.

Development Of New Polymorphic Microsatellite Markers For The New World Screw-worm Cochliomyia Hominivorax (diptera: Calliphoridae)
In this report, we describe the development of seven new polymorphic microsatellite markers for Cochliomyia hominivorax, a parasitic insect pest of primary agricultural and veterinary importance throughout the Neotropics. The number of alleles found ranged from 3 to 13 per locus, with the expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.4220 to 0.9045. The across-taxa amplification of some of these new microsatellite loci was successful in four additional Calliphoridae species. In combination with the 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers previously described, the markers developed here should provide a high resolution for assessing the fine-scale genetic structure of New World screw-worms. © 2005 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.54815817Billotte, N., Lagoda, P.J.L., Risterucci, A.M., Baurens, F.C., Microsatellite-enriched libraries: Applied methodology for the development of SSR markers in tropical crops (1999) Fruits, 54, pp. 277-288Edwards, K.J., Barker, J.H.A., Daly, A., Jones, C., Karp, A., Microsatellite libraries enriched for several microsatellite sequences in plants (1996) BioTechniques, 20, pp. 758-759(2000) Genetic Sexing and Population Genetics of Screw Worms, , August 7-11, 2000, Vienna, Austria. 19ppRaymond, M., Rousset, F., GENEPOP (version 1.2): Population genetics software for exact tests and ecumenicism (1995) Journal of Heredity, 86, pp. 248-249Rice, W.R., Analyzing tables of statistical tests (1989) Evolution, 43, pp. 223-225Rozen, S., Skaletsky, H.J., (1998) PRIMER 3, , http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/genome_software/other/primer3.html, Code availableTorres, T.T., Brondani, R.P.V., Garcia, J.E., Azeredo-Espin, A.M.L., Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers in the New World screw-worm Cochliomyia hominivorax (Diptera: Calliphoridae) (2004) Molecular Ecology Notes, 4, pp. 182-184Wyss, J.H., Galvin, T.J., Central America regional screw-worm eradication program (benefit/cost study) (1996) Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 791, pp. 241-24
Genetic Approaches For Studying Myiasis-causing Flies: Molecular Markers And Mitochondrial Genomics
"Myiasis-causing flies" is a generic term that includes species from numerous dipteran families, mainly Calliphoridae and Oestridae, of which blowflies, screwworm flies and botflies are among the most important. This group of flies is characterized by the ability of their larvae to develop in animal flesh. When the host is a live vertebrate, such parasitism by dipterous larvae is known as primary myiasis. Myiasis-causing flies can be classified as saprophagous (free-living species), facultative or obligate parasites. Many of these flies are of great medical and veterinary importance in Brazil because of their role as key livestock insect-pests and vectors of pathogens, in addition to being considered important legal evidence in forensic entomology. The characterization of myiasis-causing flies using molecular markers to study mtDNA (by RFLP) and nuclear DNA (by RAPD and microsatellite) has been used to identify the evolutionary mechanisms responsible for specific patterns of genetic variability. These approaches have been successfully used to analyze the population structures of the New World screwworm fly Cochliomyia hominivorax and the botfly Dermatobia hominis. In this review, various aspects of the organization, evolution and potential applications of the mitochondrial genome of myiasis-causing flies in Brazil, and the analysis of nuclear markers in genetic studies of populations, are discussed. © Springer 2006.12601/02/15111131Avancini, R.M.P., Linhares, A.X., Selective attractiveness of rodent-baited traps for female blowflies (1988) Med.

Complex Patterns Of Genetic Variability In Populations Of The New World Screwworm Fly Revealed By Mitochondrial Dna Markers
Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), the New World screwworm fly, is an important agent of traumatic myiasis, which is endemic in the Neotropical region and which has great economic impact on the development of the livestock industry. International efforts have been aimed at designing programmes to control and eradicate this species from endemic areas. Thorough knowledge of the population genetics of an insect pest is a fundamental component to ensuring the success of a pest management strategy because it enables the determination of an appropriate geographic scale for carrying out effective treatments. This study undertook an analysis of mtDNA polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 34 populations of C. hominivorax from 10 countries, encompassing almost all the current distribution of the species. Results showed high levels of mitochondrial DNA variability (π = 2.9%) and a complex pattern of population genetic structure for this species. Significant population structure (>st = 0.5234) and low variability were found in Caribbean populations, suggesting that, in general, islands constitute independent evolutionary entities connected by restricted gene flow. By contrast, high variability and low, but significant, differentiation was found among mainland populations (>st = 0.0483), which could not be attributed to geographic distance. Several processes may be acting to maintain the observed patterns, with different implications for establishing control programmes. © 2009 The Royal Entomological Society.23SUPPL. 13242Azeredo-Espin, A.M.L., Lessinger, A.C., Genetic approaches for studying myiasis-causing flies: Molecular markers and mitochondrial genomics (2006) Genetica, 126, pp. 111-131Baliraine, F.N., Bonizzoni, M., Guglielmino, C.R., Al, E., Population genetics of the potentially invasive African fruit fly species, Ceratitis rosa and Ceratitis fasciventris (Diptera: Tephritidae) (2004) Molecular Ecology, 13, pp. 683-695Carvalho, R.A., Torres, T.T., Azeredo-Espin, M.L., A survey of mutations in Cochliomyia hominivorax (Diptera: Calliphoridae) esterase E3 gene associated with organophosphate resistance and molecular identification of mutant alleles (2006) Veterinary Parasitology, 140, pp. 344-351Chapco, W., Kelln, R.A., McFadyen, D.A., Intraspecific mitochondrial DNA variation in the migratory grasshopper, Melanoplus sanguinipes (1992) Heredity, 69, pp. 547-557De La Rúa, P., Galián, J., Serrano, J., Moritz, F.A., Genetic structure and distinctness of Apis mellifera L. populations from the Canary Islands (2001) Molecular Ecology, 10, pp. 1733-1742(2005) Sterile Insect Technique: Principles and Practice in Area-Wide Integrated Pest Management, , Dyck, V.A.

Extreme Mitochondrial Dna Variability And Lack Of Genetic Structure In Populations Of Dermatobia Hominis (diptera: Cuterebridae) From Brazil
Restriction fragment-length polymorphism analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was used to characterize the genetic variation and population structure of the human bot fly, Dermatobia hominis (Diptera: Cuterebridae), in parasite populations from cattle in southeastern, southern and central regions of Brazil. Forty-eight haplotypes with a nucleotide sequence divergence of 2.75% were found among 227 individuals. Haplotypes could be divided into three clades, with interclade variation ranging from 0.94% to 2.00%. The degree of differentiation obtained suggests that the mitochondrial clades may have differential in allopatry, and that their contemporary pattern of distribution probably results from secondary contact of isolated populations, reinforced by the introduction and movement of livestock in South America.93510851094Avise, J.C., (1994) Molecular Markers, Natural History, and Evolution, , Chapman and Hall, New YorkAvise, J.C., Bermingham, E., Kesler, L.G., Saunders, N.C., Characterization of mitochondrial DNA variability in a hybrid swarm between subspecies of bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) (1984) Evolution, 38, pp. 931-941Avise, J.C., Arnold, J., Ball, R.M., Bermingham, E., Lamb, T., Neigel, J.E., Reeb, C.A., Saunders, N.C., Intraspecific phylogeography: The mitochondrial DNA bridge between population genetics and systematics (1987) Annu.

Evolutionary And Structural Analysis Of The Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit I (coi) Gene From Haematobia Irritans, Stomoxys Calcitrans And Musca Domestica (diptera: Muscidae) Mitochondrial Dna
This work describes the molecular characterization of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene of the mitochondrial DNA from three species of great medical and veterinary importance: the horn fly, Haematobia irritans, the stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans and the house fly, Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae) (Linnaeus). The nucleotide sequence in all species was 1536 bp in size and coded for a 512 amino acid peptide. The nucleotide bias for an A + T-rich sequence is linked to three features: a high A + T content throughout the entire gene, a high A + T content in the third codon position, and a predominance of A + T-rich codons. An anomalous TCG (serine) start codon was identified. Comparative analysis among members of the Muscidae, Scatophagidae, Calliphoridae and Drosophilidae showed high levels of nucleotide sequence conservation. Analysis of the divergent amino acids and COI protein topologies among these three Muscidae species agreed with the evolutionary model suggested for the insect mitochondrial COI protein. The characterization of the structure and evolution of this gene could be informative for further evolutionary analysis of dipteran species. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Ltd.162156160Beard, C.B., Hamm, D.M., Collins, F.H., The mitochondrial genome of the mosquito Anopheles gambiae: DNA sequence, genome organization, and comparisons with mitochondrial sequences of other insects (1993) Insect Mol Biol, 2, pp. 103-124Bernasconi, M.V., Valsangiacomo, C., Piffaretti, J.C., Ward, P.I., Phylogenetic relationships among Muscoidea (Diptera: Calyptratae) based on mitochondrial DNA sequences (2000) Insect Mol Biol, 9, pp. 67-74Caterino, M.S., Cho, S., Sperling, F.A.H., The current state of insect molecular systematics: A thriving Tower of Babel (2000) Annu Rev Entomol, 45, pp. 1-54Crozier, R.H., Crozier, Y.C., The mitochondrial genome of the honeybee Apis mellifera: Complete sequence and genome organization (1993) Genetics, 133, pp. 97-117Foster, P.G., Jermiin, L.S., Hickey, D.A., Nucleotide composition bias affects amino acid content in proteins coded by animal mitochondria (1997) J Mol E, 44, pp. 282-288Greenberg, B., Flies and disease (1973) Biology and Disease Transmission, 2. , New Jersey: University Press PrincetownInfante, M.E., Azeredo-Espin, A.M.L., Genetic variability in mitochondrial DNA of screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Diptera: Calliphoridae), from Brazil (1995) Biochem Genet, 33, pp. 737-756Kumar, S., Tamura, K., Nei, M., (1993) MEGA: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis, Version 1.01, , University Park, Pennsylvania: The Pennsylvania State UniversityLessinger, A.C., Azeredo-Espin, A.M.L., Evolution and structural organisation of mitochondrial DNA control region of myiasis-causing flies (2000) Med Vet Entomol, 14, pp. 71-80Litjens, P., Lessinger, A.C., Azeredo-Espin, A.M.L., Characterization of the screwworm flies Cochliomyia hominivorax and Cochliomyia macellaria by PCR-RFLP of mitochondrial DNA (2001) Med Vet Entomol, 15, pp. 183-188Lunt, D.H., Zhang, D.-X., Szymura, J.M., Hewitt, G.M., The insect cytochrome oxidase I gene: Evolutionary patterns and conserved primers for phylogenetic studies (1996) Insect Mol Biol, 5, pp. 153-165Morlais, I., Severson, D.W., Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence and amino acid analysis of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) from Aedes aegypti (2002) DNA Seq, 13, pp. 123-127Nirmala, X., Hypsa, V., Zurovec, M., Molecular phylogeny of Calyptratae (Diptera: Brachycera): The evolution of 18S and 16S ribosomal rDNAs in higher dipterans and their use in phylogenetic inference (2001) Insect Mol Biol, 10, pp. 475-485Saccone, C., De Giorgi, C., Gissi, C., Pesole, G., Reyes, A., Evolutionary genomics in Metazoa: The mitochondrial DNA as a model system (1999) Gene, 238, pp. 195-209Simon, C., Frati, F., Beckenbach, A., Crespi, B., Liu, H., Flook, P., Evolution, weighting, and phylogenetic utility of mitochondrial gene sequences and a compilation of conserved polymerase chain reaction primers (1994) Ann Entomol Soc Am, 87, pp. 651-701Szalanski, A.L., Owens, C.B., Sequence change and phylogenetic signal in muscoid COII DNA sequences (2003) DNA Seq, 14, pp. 331-334Tajima, F., Nei, M., Estimation of evolutionary distance between nucleotide sequences (1984) Mol Biol Evol, 1, pp. 269-285Thompson, J.D., Gibson, T.J., Plewniak, F., Jeanmougin, F., Higgins, D.G., The CLUSTAL_X windows interface: Flexible strategies for multiple sequence alignment aided by quality analysis tools (1997) Nucleic Acids Research, 25, pp. 4876-488
Assessing Genetic Variation In New World Screwworm Cochliomyia Hominivorax Populations From Uruguay
The New World screwworm Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel) is an important parasitic insect pest in Neotropical regions. NewWorld screwworm myiasis is caused by the larval stage of the fly infesting tissues of warm-blooded vertebrates. This species represents a serious threat to the livestock sector across its current distribution, which includes part of the Caribbean and all of South America (except for Chile). Knowledge of the extent and distribution of genetic variability of C. hominivorax is of great interest for the description of populations and for contributing to future strategies of control. This paper describes the analysis of genetic variability and structure of New World screwworm populations in Uruguay using two different molecular markers, mitochondrial DNA and microsatellites.183191Agis, M., Schlötterer, C., Microsatellite variation in natural Drosophila melanogaster populations from New South Wales (Australia) and Tasmania (2001) Molecular Ecology, 10, pp. 1197-1205Avise, J.C., (1994) Molecular Markers, Natural History and Evolution, , Chapman and Hall, New York, USACallen, D.F., Thompson, A.D., Shen, Y., Phillips, H.A., Richards, R.I., Mulley, J.C., Sutherland, G.R., Incidence and origin of "null" alleles in the (AC) n microsatel-lite marker (1993) American Journal of Human Genetics, 52, pp. 922-927Dueñas, J.C.R., Panzetta-Dutari, G.M., Blanco, A., Gardenal, C.N., Restriction fragment length polymorphism of the mtDNAAT-rich region as a genetic marker in Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) (2002) Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 95, pp. 352-358Gaggiotti, O.E., Lange, O., Rassmann, K., Gliddon, C., A comparison of two indirect methods for estimating average levels of gene flow using microsatellite data (1999) Molecular Ecology, 8, pp. 1513-1520Goldstein, D., Schlötterer, C., (1999) Microsatellites: Evolution and Applications, , Oxford University Press, Oxford, UKGoudet, J., Fstat version 1.2: A computer program to calculate F-statistics (1995) Journal of Heredity, 86, pp. 485-486Goudet, J., Raymond, M., De Meeüs, T., Rousset, F., Testing differentiation in diploid populations (1996) Genetics, 144, pp. 1933-1940Guo, S.W., Thompson, E.A., Performing the exact test of Hardy-Weinberg proportion for multiple alleles (1992) Biometrics, 48, pp. 361-372Infante-Malaquias, M.E., (1999) Estrutura Genética de Populações de Cochliomyia Hominivorax (Diptera: Calliphoridae) da Região Sudeste do Brasil: Análise Através de Três Tipos de Marcadores Genéticos, , Ph.

The Value Of Pcr-rflp Molecular Markers For The Differentiation Of Immature Stages Of Two Necrophagous Flies (diptera: Calliphoridae) Of Potential Forensic Importance [o Valor De Marcadores Moleculares Do Tipo Pcr-rflp Para A Diferenciação De Estágios Imaturos De Duas Moscas Necrófagas (diptera: Calliphoridae) De Potencial Importância Forense]
The identification of insect species involved in corpses decomposition is of particular importance in estimating the post-mortem interval (PMI) in forensic science, since the PMI is based on information about the life cycle of necrophagous insects. However, the identification of some insect species, especially in their immature stages, may be complicated by many factors, even for experienced taxonomists. Species of the same genus such as Hemilucilia segmentaria (Fabricius) and H. semidiaphana (Rondani) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) are morphologically and behaviorally very similar, but differ in their growth and maturation rates. These species are abundant in forests, exclusively necrophagous and, therefore, are of potential medicolegal importance for estimating the PMI in criminal events that would take place in those areas. In this study, we assessed the usefulness of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in the differentiation of these two species. Two specific regions of mitochondrial DNA, the Cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and the control region (CR), were amplified by PCR and digested using restriction endonucleases. The cleavage patterns generated by the endonucleases DraI and SspI were suitable for differentiating the two Hemilucilia species. This method can be helpful for the forensic entomologist in estimating the PMI because it provides a fast identification, also making possible the use of the insect at any life stage, including immature specimens, regardless of the conditions of preservation (dead or live specimens).345777783Amorim, J.A., Ribeiro, O.B., Distinction among the puparia of three blowfly species (Diptera: Calliphoridae) frequently found on unburied corpses (2001) Mem.

Molecular Characterization Of Esterase E3 Gene Associated With Organophosphorus Insecticide Resistance In The New World Screwworm Fly, Cochliomyia Hominivorax
The New World screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), is one of the most important myiasis-causing flies in South America. It is responsible for severe economic losses to livestock producers, mainly because it causes mortality in newborn calves and reductions in the quality of leather and in the production of milk and meat. The economic losses caused by myiasis, along with those caused by other internal and external parasites, are the main factors limiting meat production. In Brazil, C. hominivorax has been controlled by applying insecticides, particularly organophosphate (OP)-based compounds. However, the improper and continuous use of these chemicals can lead to the selection of OP-resistant strains. This, associated with the fast development of OP resistance in other myiasis-causing flies, shows the importance of investigating resistance in C. hominivorax. Based on the findings of previous studies, the objective of the current work was to isolate and sequence the E3 gene in C. hominivorax. Mutations at the positions (Gly137 and Trp251) responsible for conferring OP resistance in Lucilia cuprina and Musca domestica L. (Muscidae) were identified in C. hominivorax. In addition, the orthologous region in C. hominivorax contained motifs that are highly conserved among carboxyl/cholinesterases and contribute to the catalytic mechanism of the active site. The characterization of this gene in natural populations of New World screwworm can be an important tool for monitoring resistance to insecticides throughout its current geographic distribution. This will provide information for the selection and implementation of more effective pest management programmes. © 2009 The Royal Entomological Society.23SUPPL. 18691Altschul, S.F., Maden, T.L., Schäffer, A.A., Zhang, Z., Miller, W., Lipman, D.J., Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: A new generation of protein database search programs (1997) Nucleic Acids Research, 25, pp. 3389-3402Batterham, P., Davies, A.G., Game, A.Y., McKenzie, J.A., Asymmetry - Where evolutionary and developmental genetics meet (1996) Bioessays, 18, pp. 841-845Campbell, P.M., Newcomb, R.D., Russel, R.J., Oakeshott, J.G., Two different amino acid substitutions in the ali-esterase E3 confer alternative types of organophosphorus insecticide resistance in the sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina (1998) Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 28, pp. 139-150Carvalho, R.A., Torres, T.T., Azeredo-Espin, M.L., A survey of mutations in the Cochliomyia hominivorax (Diptera: Calliphoridae) esterase E3 gene associated with organophosphate resistance and the molecular identification of mutant alleles (2006) Veterinary Parasitology, 140, pp. 344-351Claudianos, C., Russel, R.J., Oakeshott, J.G., The same amino acid substitution in orthologous esterases confers organophosphate resistance on the housefly and a blowfly (1999) Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 29, pp. 675-686Cygler, M., Schrag, J.D., Sussman, J.L., Harel, M., Silman, I., Gentry, M.K., Doctor, B.P., Relationship between sequence conservation and three-dimensional structure in a large family of esterases, lipases and related proteins (1993) Protein Science, 2, pp. 366-382Ffrench-Constant, R.H., Which came first: Insecticides or resistance?
