The intraspecific variations of Entomophthora muscae s. str. associated with particular host species, Musca domestica and Delia radicum, sampled from different localities and different years in Denmark and the variation of E. muscae s. str. originating from different host taxa were investigated. The isolates were compared both by primary spore morphology and by three molecular methods: random amplified polymorphic DNA, universal primed PCR, and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Analyses of the different molecular data showed the same overall picture and separated E. muscae s. str. into two main groups with all the M. domestica isolates in one group and isolates from D. radicum, Coenosia tigrina, and Pegoplata infirma in the second group. E. muscae s. str. isolates from M. domestica also differ significantly from the rest of the E. muscae s. str. isolates with regard to the morphology of the primary conidia, which were bigger and contained significantly more nuclei per conidium. Several different E. muscae s. str. genotypes were documented and each type was restricted to a single host species, indicating a very high degree of host specificity at or below the level of the subfamily.
对来自丹麦不同地点和不同年份、与特定宿主物种(家蝇和萝卜地种蝇)相关的蝇虫霉狭义种的种内变异,以及源自不同宿主类群的蝇虫霉狭义种的变异进行了研究。通过初生孢子形态以及三种分子方法(随机扩增多态性DNA、通用引物PCR和PCR-限制性片段长度多态性)对分离株进行了比较。对不同分子数据的分析显示出相同的总体情况,并将蝇虫霉狭义种分为两个主要组,所有家蝇分离株在一组,来自萝卜地种蝇、虎斑沼蝇和弱斑拟食虫虻的分离株在第二组。家蝇的蝇虫霉狭义种分离株在初生分生孢子形态方面也与其余的蝇虫霉狭义种分离株有显著差异,初生分生孢子更大,每个分生孢子含有的细胞核明显更多。记录了几种不同的蝇虫霉狭义种基因型,每种类型都局限于单一宿主物种,表明在亚科水平或以下存在非常高的宿主特异性。
