| genetic variation of ticks (ixodes ricinus l.) in the lithuanian and norwegian populations. | rapd markers were used to measure the genetic diversity of 119 individuals of ixodes ricinus collected from lithuania and norway. the samples were analysed within and also between the populations. we analysed 74 loci in each of 6 populations. our results show high levels of diversity within the populations. the percentage of polymorphic loci of the six analysed populations: birzai, vilnius, kretinga, tjore, kjosvik and odderoya were 68.9%, 58.1%, 78.38%, 62.2%, 44.6% and 68.9%, respectively. the ... | 2006 | 17149655 |
