Microsatellite DNA markers for the Stable Fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae)
Molecular Ecology Notes 4 (4), 635-637
Abstract: Eight polymorphic microsatellite markers have been isolated from a microsatellite-enriched DNA library from the Stable Fly, Stomoxys calcitrans. These loci exhibited four to 15 alleles per locus and an expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.19 to 0.84 in the three populations studied from La Réunion island (Indian Ocean). They should therefore be valuable for studying genetic diversity and population structure. Cross-species amplification of these eight loci in the closely allied species Stomoxys niger niger was successful for four of these loci, one of which was monomorphic and one of which strongly departed from Hardy-Weinberg expectations.
