AbstractThe random amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) technique was applied to two closely-related echinostome species, Echinostoma trivolvis and E. caproni, to demonstrate interspecffic polymorphisms of genomic DNA. Band patterns generated using five individual primers showed that these two echinostomes were genetically distinct, although they share genomic DNA to some extent.

Extraction of DNA from whole aphids, in combination with random amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) (Williams et al. 1990) markers can detect interspecific and intraspecific genetic variation (Black et al. 1992; Cenis et al. 1993). However, these techniques entail destructive sampling of fresh or preserved specimens. To allow experimental replication from a single sample while preserving the same aphid for morphometrical or karyotyping analyses, we describe a technique for RAPD-PCR using DNA from single aphid embryos. We evaluated the usefulness and reliability of single-embryo analysis, using four species of our laboratory colonies, namely Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), Aphis fabae Scopoli, Aphis frangulae group, and Aphis gossypii Glover.
