Gazella bennetti (indian gazelle or chinkara) of Pakistan: genetic profiles and conservation priorities

Indian gazelle is endemic to wild northern Punjab, Pakistan, and also an endangered species according to red list categories of International Union of Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. Better understanding of genetics of immune response of this species can be helpful to design effective...

Better understanding of genetics of immune response of this species can be helpful to design effective conservation strategies. The objective of this study was to assess the molecular genetic diversity on interleukin 2 (IL-2) gene sequences of endangered G. bennetti as a gene encoding a cytokine involved in some vital activities of immune response regulation. The IL-2 gene (492 bp) was amplified and sequenced in DNA samples collected from wild as well as captive indian gazelle, followed by alignment and phylogenetic analysis. The neighbour joining tree constructed from MEGA6 showed that G. bennetti is differ from others and form in a different clade. The analysis of study results showed that indian gazelle is a unique isolated population found in Pakistan which is endemic as well as endangered. Therefore, in-situ and ex-situ conservation techniques for G. bennetti present a good solution to preserve this endangered species from extinction. La gacela india es oriunda de la zona silvestre del norte de Pendjab (Pakistán). De acuerdo a las categorías de la lista roja de la Unión Internacional de Conservación de la Naturaleza y los Recursos Naturales, constituye una especie en peligro. El entendimiento de la genética de la respuesta inmune en esta especie puede ser útil para diseñar efectivas estrategias de conservación. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la diversidad genética molecular en la interleukina 2 (IL-2), secuencias de genes que ponen en peligro a G. bennetti como un gen que codifica una citokina involucrada en algunas actividades vitales de regulación de la respuesta inmune. El gen IL-2 (492 bp) fue amplificado y secuenciado en muestras de ADN colectadas de la naturaleza, así como de ejemplares cautivos de gacela india, seguidos por la alineación y el análisis filogenético. Los vecinos que unen el árbol construido de MEGA6 mostraron que G. bennetti es distinto de otros y forma un clado diferente. El análisis de los resultados del estudio mostró que las gacelas indias constituyen una única población aislada encontrada en Pakistán, la cual es endémica y está expuesta al peligro. Por consiguiente, las técnicas de conservación in-situ y ex-situ para G. bennetti constituyen una buena alternativa para evitar el peligro de extinción de la especie.
