Identification and DNA barcoding of Tabanid flies in the pasture area of sheep at Mannavanur, Palani Hills, Tamil Nadu, India
The present study was carried out to identify the tabanid flies creating annoyance to sheep in the grazing area of SRRC, Mannavanur by means of morphological keys and DNA barcoding targeting mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. Two different kinds of tabanid flies were caught from the pasture area by graziers during the months of May & June 2021. With the help of Dept. of Agricultural Entomology, Centre for Plant Protection studies, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India and Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, it was identified that Haematopota nathani (Cleg fly) and Tabanus subcinerascens (Horse fly) were the two dipteran tabanid flies causing annoyance and aching bite in sheep and shepherds. The total genomic DNA isolated from the flies were subjected to COI gene based PCR assay using the universal primer set and the resultant PCR amplified DNA fragments were cloned into E.coli based vector. The confirmed recombinant plasmids were subjected for gene sequencing protocol through outsourcing. Upon the BLAST analysis, the nucleotide sequences obtained from the flies identified by TNAU and ZSI, were having the highest identity with COI gene of Haematopota sp and Tabanus sp., respectively. The obtained nucleotide sequences were analysed using the standard bioinformatics tools. Small number of fly specimens and the analysis based on the partial nucleotide sequences of COI gene are the limitations. It was concluded that the documentation of H. nathani and T. subcinerascens as well as barcoding of both tabanid flies from Palani hills, Tamil Nadu, India, based on mitochondrial COI DNA marker had been carried out for the first time.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports focuses on aspects of veterinary parasitology that are of regional concern, which is especially important in this era of climate change and the rapid and often unconstrained travel of people and animals. Relative to regions, this journal will accept papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites within the field of veterinary medicine. Also, case reports will be considered as they add to information related to local disease and its control; such papers must be concise and represent appropriate medical intervention. Papers on veterinary parasitology from wildlife species are acceptable, but only if they relate to the practice of veterinary medicine. Studies on vector-borne bacterial and viral agents are suitable, but only if the paper deals with vector transmission of these organisms to domesticated animals. Studies dealing with parasite control by means of natural products, both in vivo and in vitro, are more suited for one of the many journals that now specialize in papers of this type. However, due to the regional nature of much of this research, submissions may be considered based upon a case being made by the author(s) to the Editor. Circumstances relating to animal experimentation must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (obtainable from: Executive Secretary C.I.O.M.S., c/o W.H.O., Via Appia, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland).
