ABSTRACT

We presented a practical and efficient parentage analysis test for raccoon dogs. The method makes use of 15 polymorphic microsatellite markers. Parentage control was performed for 3 generations of raccoon dog (207 animals altogether) by amplification of microsatellites. Exclusion probabilities ranging from 0.959 assuming one known parent to 0.998 assuming both known parents, were attained. It is possible to use the set of 15 markers in this study for routine parentage testing, but further research should be done to examine whether the set are practically effective. Microsatellite markers are useful tools for parentage testing in raccoon dogs.

Key words: Canidae, microsatellites, parentage testing, raccoon dog.
