    FIG. 1.

    Schematic representation of the distribution of marker alleles in the 22 variants of T. parva chromosome 1 observed in St72. The 72-01 variant is that shown in row 1. Alphabetical codes at each locus have been assigned colors for illustrative purposes as follows: A, blue; B, red; C, yellow, D, green; E, magenta. Contiguous markers are seen to reassort in blocks, with individual blocks also showing evidence of recombination.

    FIG. 2.

    Inbreeding in St72 and St96 with respect to the 72-01 genotype. Frequencies are provided for genotypes sharing different levels of identity with the clone.

    FIG. 3.

    Cluster analysis of genotypes in St72 (A) and St96 (B) based on pairwise distance matrices generated by the LIAN 3.1 software. Major clusters are indicated, and the position of the 72-01 genotype is highlighted in boldface text.

    FIG. 4.

    Marker analysis of whole genomic DNA prepared from four successive generations of the Marikebuni isolate of T. parva. Lane 1, IL3014; lane 2, St70; lane 3, St72; lane 4, St96; 5, clone 72-01.
