Detection of the parasite Ribeiroia ondatrae in water bodies and possible impacts of malformations in a frog hostHuver, Johannes Richard 04 July 2013 (has links)
This study devised a method to detect Ribeiroia ondatrae (class Trematoda) in water-bodies using environmental DNA (eDNA) collected from filtered water samples from selected ponds in the USA and Canada. Species-specific PCR primers were designed to target the Internal Transcribed Spacer-2 (ITS-2) region of the parasite’s genome. The qualitative PCR method was 70% (n=10) accurate in detecting R. ondatrae in ponds previously found to contain the parasite, while the qPCR method was 88.9% (n=9). To examine how the retinoic acid (RA) pathway gene expression may be perturbed during R. ondatrae infections, leading to limb development abnormalities in the wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus). Multiple sequence alignments were used to design degenerate PCR primers to eight RA biosynthesis genes, but only two gene fragments were identified using this approach. Without effective primer sets it was not possible to measure changes in gene expression in infected frogs.
