The causative agent of toxoplasmosis,Toxoplasma gondii,can infect virtually all nucleated cell types of warm-blooded animals.In this study,we examined the sequence variation in calcium-dependent protein kinase 2(CDPK2)genes among 13 T.gondii strains from different hosts and geographical locations.Results showed that the lengths of complete CDPK2 DNA and cDNA sequences were 3671-3673 bp and 2136 bp,respectively,and the sequence variation were 0-0.9%among different T.gondii strains.Phylogenetic analysis based on the CDPK2 gene sequences revealed T.gondii strains of the same genotypes were clustered in the different clades.Further analysis of all the other T.gondii CDPK genes in genotype Ⅰ(GT1),Ⅱ(ME49)or Ⅲ(VEG)strains indicated the T.gondii CDPK gene family was quite conservative,and the sequences variation ranging from 0 to 1.40%.The study concluded that CDPK2 as well as all the CDPK genes in T.gondii cannot use as proper marker for studying the variant of different T.gondii genotypes from different hosts and geographical locations,which may be a useful feature as anti-T.gondii vaccine candidates in further studies.

隐孢子虫花栗鼠基因型Ⅰ是一种新发的可感染人的病原。但目前针对于该病原还没有有效的亚型区分工具,因此无法判断动物源传播在该病原的流行中所发挥的作用。为了搜寻可用于亚型区分的遗传标记,我们对一株人感染的花栗鼠基因型Ⅰ分离株的基因组进行了测序,共获得853条重叠群序列,由此获得的拼接序列总长为9,509,783 bp,测序深度约为227×。根据获得的全基因组数据,筛选出了一个编码60-kDa的糖蛋白(g
