Abstract excerpt
We characterized ten polymorphic microsatellite loci from the tree-hole tick, Ixodes arboricola. Loci were screened in 11-18 individuals from three Belgian populations and five to ten alleles were found at each locus. Seven loci did not show deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium conditions and there were no indications for null alleles at these loci. The three other loci showed significant heterozygote...
