• Abstract : Since microsatellites are also excellent DNA markers for population biology of fungi, three partial genomic libraries were produced to isolate SSR-containing clones from Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease. Eleven out of 28 designed primer pairs were useful for an initial study of M fijiensis from Nigeria and Mexico. The results presented in this paper will help to better understand the genetic diversity of this Musa pathogen and to optimize future collection activities.
