“…It is noteworthy that preponderance of agricultural products is produced in northern Nigeria compared to the southern part and this elicited the age-long inter-regional trade involving daily transportation of huge number of unregistered and un-estimated number of both ruminant and non-ruminant animals to meet the social and nutritional needs of southern Nigerians. Hence, this study confirmed the low genetic diversity among Nigerian Muscovy duck populations ( Adeola et al, 2020 ; Sola-Ojo et al, 2021 ). The phylogenetic tree showed significant clustering of Nigerian Muscovy duck and intermingled together with Indian, USA, and Chinese Muscovy ducks.…”

“…The low genetic diversity based on cytochrome b coincided with result of earlier studies on Muscovy duck populations in China and India ( Sun et al, 2012 ; Kameshpandian, Thomas & Nagarajan, 2018 ). In a previous study on mitochondria D-loop, we also reported a low genetic diversity in Nigerian Muscovy duck populations ( Adeola et al, 2020 ). The low genetic diversity in mtDNA cytochrome b of Nigerian Muscovy ducks corroborates previous reports that employed morphological parameters ( Oguntunji & Ayorinde, 2014 ) and blood proteins ( Oguntunji & Ayorinde, 2015b ).…”

“…Further, analysis of mtDNA cytochrome b and nuclear DNA CYP2U1 genes showed a low genetic diversity among Indian populations ( Kameshpandian, Thomas & Nagarajan, 2018 ). Similarly, Ogah et al (2017) and Adeola et al (2020) reported low genetic diversity in Nigerian Muscovy duck populations based on mitochondrial D-Loop. A recent study using the nuclear DNA CYP2U1 gene suggested extensive genetic intermixing in the studied Nigerian Muscovy duck populations, but limitation due to the sample size hindered further conclusions ( Sola-Ojo et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Muscovy duck ( Cairina moschata ) is indigenous to the tropical regions of Central and South America ( Rodenburg et al, 2005 ; Adeola et al, 2020 ), and was introduced to other continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe ( Arias-Sosa, Alex & Rojas, 2021 ). An inventory survey of livestock in Nigeria revealed that duck is the third most widely domesticated poultry birds ( Hassan & Mohammad, 2003 ; Nwanta et al, 2006 ) with an estimated population of 9,553,911 after chicken (101,676,710) and guinea fowl (16,976,907) ( NBS, 2012 ).…”

“…Several molecular markers have been developed to study the genetic diversity within and between populations, including cytochrome b gene ( Sun et al, 2012 ), cytochrome P450 CYP2 family ( Kubota et al, 2011 ), cytochrome P450 2U1 (CYP2U1) ( Kameshpandian, Thomas & Nagarajan, 2018 ), mitochondrial D-loop ( Gaur et al, 2018 ; Adeola et al, 2020 ; De et al, 2021 ). Cytochrome b gene has been reported as an efficient tool due to its high power of discrimination for species identification and characterization in taxonomy and forensic science ( Kuwayama & Ozawa, 2000 ; Saif et al, 2012 ), and has also been used to study molecular evolution ( Prusak & Grzybowski, 2004 ).…”

The domestic Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) provide unique genetic resources patterned by both tropical environmental conditions and human activities, the evaluation of their genetic diversity and population structure will shade light on the mechanism of their remarkable adaptive capacities. We therefore analyzed the variation in mtDNA cytochrome b and nuclear DNA CYP2U1 sequences of 378 Nigerian Muscovy ducks (comprising of 287 de novo and 91 downloaded) plus 80 published sequences of Muscovy ducks from India. The results showed high haplotype diversity (0.800 ± 0.023) among Nigerian Muscovy duck populations with 91 distinct haplotypes for the nuclear DNA CYP2U1 gene but low (0.266 ± 0.033) for cytochrome b with 31 haplotypes. The median-joining networks of both markers grouped Nigerian Muscovy ducks into two; the first group consisting of only Nigerian Muscovy duck populations, and the second group Nigerian with Indian populations. Neutrality test results indicated that Nigerian populations experienced recent population expansion and/or genetic hitchhiking. A geographic signal was absent in line with previously studied poultry species in Nigeria. The most prominent haplotype dominated across all regions in Nigeria, which may be due to extensive genetic intermixing except for the Indian population (FST = 0.02550, P = 0.01075). This indicated low genetic differentiation between and within Nigerian Muscovy duck as revealed by the suitability of the nuclear DNA CYP2U1 gene.

Domestic ducks are of paramount importance as a cheap source of protein in rural India. Andaman local duck (ALD) is an indigenous avian genetic resource of Andaman and Nicobar islands (ANI) and is mainly distributed in Middle and Northern parts of these islands. Negligence has brought this breed on the edge of extinction necessitating immediate conservation efforts. Here, we report the genetic diversity, population structure and matrilineal genetic root of ALD. Partial mtDNA D-loop sequences were analyzed in 71 ALD samples and analysis revealed 19 polymorphic sites and 13 haplotypes. Estimated haplotype (Hd ± SD) and nucleotide diversity (π ± SD) were 0.881 ± 0.017 and 0.00897 ± 0.00078 respectively. The high genetic diversity of ALD indicates introgression of genetic material from other local duck breeds. In addition, it can be postulated that ALD bearing high genetic diversity has strong ability to adapt to environmental changes and can withstand impending climate change. Phylogenetic and network analysis indicate that ALD falls under Eurasian clade of mallard and ALD forms three clusters; one cluster is phylogenetically close to Southeast Asian countries, one close to Southern part of mainland India and the third one forms an independent cluster. Therefore, ALD might have migrated either from Southeast Asian countries which enjoy a close cultural bondage with ANI from time immemorial or from Southern part of India. The independent cluster may have evolved locally in these islands and natural selection pressure imposed by environmental conditions might be the driving force for evaluation of these duck haplotypes; which mimics Darwin’s theory of natural selection. The results of the study will be beneficial for formulating future breeding programme and conservation strategy towards sustainable development of the duck breed.
