Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Zoology
  • Ecology

Background:

  • The black rat (Rattus rattus) is a globally invasive species.
  • It poses significant threats to agriculture and human health.
  • Understanding its population genetics is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To isolate and characterize novel microsatellite loci for Rattus rattus.
  • To assess the genetic diversity of black rat populations in Madagascar and Senegal.
  • To provide a robust set of genetic markers for future population structure studies.

Main Methods:

  • Isolation and characterization of 10 microsatellite loci.
  • Analysis of microsatellite polymorphism in two distinct populations.
  • Calculation of allele numbers per locus for each population.

Main Results:

  • Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci were successfully identified in Rattus rattus.
  • Allelic diversity varied between populations: 3-12 alleles in Madagascar and 2-5 alleles in Senegal.
  • These markers, combined with existing ones, offer enhanced capabilities for population genetic analysis.

Conclusions:

  • The newly developed microsatellite markers are effective for studying Rattus rattus populations.
  • Genetic diversity differs between the studied Malagasy and Senegalese populations.
  • This research provides essential tools for future investigations into the genetic structure of invasive black rat populations.
