June 17, 2013 at 04:51PM A new genetic method to estimate pathogen dispersion

Pathogens move from their place of birth to their mating site. This is known as dispersion. However, what is the speed of that dispersion? In an attempt to come up with an answer, a team from CIRAD recently developed a method based on neutral genetic markers, and applied it successfully to a major banana pathogen, Mycosphaerella fijiensis, which is currently spreading through every production zone. The method could be particularly useful for anticipating the evolution and capacity to cause damage of invasive or emerging organisms.

June 17, 2013 at 04:51PM Une nouvelle méthode génétique estime la dispersion des organismes pathogènes

Les agents pathogènes se déplacent depuis leur lieu de naissance jusqu’à leur site de reproduction. C’est ce que l’on appelle la dispersion. Mais à quelle vitesse s’effectue cette dispersion ? C’est pour répondre à cette question qu’une équipe du Cirad vient de mettre au point une méthode fondée sur les marqueurs génétiques neutres. Elle l’a appliquée avec succès à un redoutable pathogène du bananier, Mycosphaerella fijiensis, qui s’étend actuellement dans toutes les zones de production. Une méthode qui pourrait s’avérer particulièrement intéressante pour anticiper l’évolution et les capacités de nuisance des organismes invasifs ou émergents.
