Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP), Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP), were applied to the tomato genome for assessment of polymorphism and for mapping. The polymorphism of AFLP was studied in twenty-one commercial tomato (L. esculentum) varieties. Four AFLP primer combinations produced 298 clear bands; an average of 75 bands per combination. SSR markers were generated from two sources: (1) size-selected genomic libraries screened with (AT)n, (CT)n, (GT)n, (ATT)n and (CTT)n probes. (2) GeneBank database. Primers were designed for 114 loci and used for genotyping 13 tomato varieties and three Lycopersicon species. Eighteen markers were used to evaluate the polymorphism among the commercial cultivars and were found to be a useful tool for cultivar identification. In-silico comparison of DNA sequences (ESTs and genes) of L. pennellii and L. esculentum, yielded 312 SNPs. Ten L. pennelli genomic fragments were sequenced and the comparison with L. esculentum yielded 22 SNPs. Another 19 SNPs were discovered by sequencing and comparing L. pennellii genomic DNA to L. esculentum DNA fragments containing SSRs. The average SNP frequency was found to be one in a few tens of base pairs. A total of 52 microsatellites, 159 polymorphic AFLP markers and six SNPs were mapped using the Introgression Lines generated by [1]. Map location and markers' distribution are presented.

Unlabelled: Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis of global distribution, capable of affecting both humans and animals, and caused by species of the genus spp. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity and mating type distribution of clinical isolates of human sporotrichosis in Paraíba, Brazil, to better understand the population structure, epidemiology, and diversification of this pathogen, as well as to explore possible transmission routes.
Methods: A total of 36 clinical isolates were morphologically identified, and clinical and demographic data were collected.

Article Synopsis
- Enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) is a severe cattle disease caused by the bovine leukemia virus (BLV), still prevalent in many regions despite eradication efforts in some European countries.
- Traditional methods for assessing BLV-infected cells' clonality, like NGS and Sanger sequencing, are complex and impractical for regular veterinary use.
- The study introduces a new, simpler BLV-AFLP analysis method that effectively distinguishes between EBL and non-EBL cases, showing potential for early detection of clonal proliferation in cattle.

Introduction: In Brazil, the emergence of feline sporotrichosis, a neglected subcutaneous mycosis primarily transmitted by cats and caused by the fungus Sporothrix brasiliensis, has been monitored via molecular tools. This approach underscores the geographic expansion of this disease and highlights the critical role of molecular surveillance in understanding its epidemiology and guiding public health interventions.
Methods: We investigated three domestic cats (Felis catus) with multiple skin lesions in Picos, Piauí, Brazil.

Article Synopsis
- Genetic diversity is essential for a species' evolutionary potential and effective conservation strategies, particularly in fragmented habitats.
- A study on food-deceptive orchids in Shangrila County found significant genetic diversity, with 376 alleles identified and a high Nei's gene diversity of 0.339.
- Despite habitat fragmentation, the orchids maintained considerable genetic diversity, with only 8.75% of genetic variation occurring between populations, indicating significant gene flow within and between those populations.

Article Synopsis
- Local-scale studies on narrow endemic species in mountain phylogeography are limited, yet understanding their genetic structure is crucial for grasping local flora diversity and history.
- The research focuses on a distinctive endemic species in the Western Carpathians by analyzing populations across its distribution range using non-coding cpDNA and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequencing, along with AFLP fingerprinting.
- Findings reveal two distinct genetic groups based on cpDNA, indicating historical population isolation during the last glacial period, with several local refugia identified in the Tatra Mountains and surrounding massifs.
