RESUMO
Cephenemyia stimulator and Oestrus ovis are two important parasitic bot flies (Oestridae) species causing myiasis, with a potential negative impact on the welfare of the host. Using next-generation sequencing approach and bioinformatics tools, a large panel of possible microsatellites loci was obtained in both species. Primer pairs were designed for 15 selected microsatellite loci in C. stimulator and other 15 loci in O. ovis for PCR amplification. Loci amplification and analysis were performed in four populations of each species. The results demonstrated that all selected loci were polymorphic, with the number of alleles ranging from 2 to 6 per locus in C. stimulator and 3 to 13 per locus in O. ovis. This is the first time to describe these microsatellite loci for C. stimulator and O. ovis. These two sets of microsatellite markers could be further used for biogeographic and population genetics studies.
