Abstract excerpt
Sixteen primers were successfully used in a RAPD assay to generate reproducible fingerprints for six isolates of Cowdria ruminantium, a tick-transmitted rickettsia of ruminants. Distinction between stocks was possible by using one or at most two primers. Two stocks were very similar although originating from widely distant geographical regions. A genetic distance tree was constructed by analysing 108 fragments in...
