| pcr amplification and sequence analysis of the major capsid protein gene of megalocytiviruses isolated in taiwan. | viruses belonging to the genus megalocytivirus in the family iridoviridae are one of the major agents causing mass mortalities in marine and freshwater fish in asian countries. outbreaks of iridovirus disease have been reported among various fish species in taiwan. however, the genotypes of these iridoviruses have not yet been determined. in this study, seven megalocytivirus isolates from four fish species: king grouper, epinephelus lanceolatus (bloch), barramundi perch, lates calcarifer (bloch) ... | 2009 | 19460084 |
| development of pedigree classification using microsatellite and mitochondrial markers for giant grouper broodstock (epinephelus lanceolatus) management in taiwan. | most giant groupers in the market are derived from inbred stock. inbreeding can cause trait depression, compromising the animals' fitness and disease resistance, obligating farmers to apply increased amounts of drugs. in order to solve this problem, a pedigree classification method is needed. here, microsatellite and mitochondrial dna were used as genetic markers to analyze the genetic relationships among giant grouper broodstocks. the 776-bp fragment of high polymorphic mitochondrial d-loop seq ... | 2014 | 24796300 |
