Abstract

The genetic heterogeneity among and isolates obtained from apparently healthy cattle and sheep was investigated by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. A total of 348 isolates, consisting of (=218) and (=130), were analysed. All these isolates were successfully typed by RAPD analysis. The total numbers of band patterns defined by RAPD in cattle and sheep were 42 and 45, respectively. Of the 42 distinct types obtained from cattle, 37 types were observed in isolates (=115), and the remaining 5 were in isolates (=30). Of 45 distinct types obtained from sheep, 21 types were observed in isolates (=103), and 24 were in isolates (=100). It was concluded that a high degree of heterogeneity existed among the and isolates of healthy cattle and sheep.
