GENE OF A PARASITE CAUSING DEATH OF HALOCYNTHIA RORETZI AND METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING THE PARASITE

摘要

A gene of a parasite causing death of Halocynthia roretzi and a method for diagnosing a parasite are provided to obtain a living organism that causes perishing of Halocynthia roretzi, and to diagnose a parasite by using a part of 18S rDNA fraction causing perishing of Halocynthia roretzi. A method for diagnosing a parasite includes the steps of: separating the entire nucleic acid from Halocynthia roretzi; performing PCR reaction by having the separated nucleic acid as a template and having a front primer and a reverse primer having a partial sequence of 18SrDNA fraction having a nucleotide sequence of sequence number 1 as a primer pair; and checking the size of the product of the PCR reaction by gel electrophoresis and comparing the size of the aforesaids product with the size of the product that is anticipated from the used primer pair.
