Exploring genetic diversity, population structure, and phylogeography in Paracoccidioides species using AFLP markers

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a life-threatening systemic fungal infection acquired after inhalation of Paracoccidioides propagules from the environment. The main agents include members of the P. brasiliensis complex (phylogenetically-defined species S1, PS2, PS3, and PS4) and P. lutzii. DNA-seque...

Considering the overall scored AFLP markers in vitro (67–87 fragments), the values of polymorphism information content (PIC = 0.3345–0.3456), marker index (MI = 0.0018), effective multiplex ratio (E = 44.6788–60.3818), resolving power (Rp = 22.3152–34.3152), discriminating power (D = 0.5183–0.5553), expected heterozygosity (H = 0.4247–0.4443), and mean heterozygosity (Havp = 0.00002–0.00004), demonstrated the utility of AFLP markers to speciate Paracoccidioides and to dissect both deep and fine-scale genetic structures. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed that the total genetic variance (65-66 %) was due to variability among P. brasiliensis complex and P. lutzii (PhiPT = 0.651–0.658, P < 0.0001), supporting a highly structured population.
