Abstract

The study was conducted to analyze the genetic diversity of the population of cats (Felis catus) of the Colombian city of Mompox, Bolívar. The following genes were studied: Orange, Agouti, Tabby, Dilution, Long Hair, Spotting White Dominant White, Manx and Siames for 200 cats in five neighborhoods of the city. Mompox presented allelic frequencies that ranged between 0.678 and 0.003 for the Non-agouti and Manx markers, respectively. The Spotting White and Long Hair markers showed the greatest diversity; the Orange marker presented disequilibrium in two populations: Seis de Agosto and Faciolince, while Spotting White maintained a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A high genetic differentiation was found between the populations (GST = 0.1283). In Mompox an association of the populations was presented attending the date of their foundations. In the Colombian Caribbean, the populations were grouped according to the political estates erected since the colonization and according to the times of the foundations of the cities; In addition, they were grouped by their geographical proximity.
