“…A total of 23 polymorphic mini-and micro-satellite markers were used to genotype parasite isolates, as described previously (Bilgic et al, 2017;Weir et al, 2007). These included 14 microsatellites (Tmsc 1,31,33,37,45,48,68,75,77,86 and TS 5,9,12,16) and nine minisatellites (MSC 8,19,and TS 6,8,15,20,25,31) distributed across each of the four chromosomes of the T. annulata genome.…”
