Gasterophilus pecorum (Diptera: Gasterophilidae) is the most damaging parasites in Przewalaski’s horses that were re-wilded in Kalamaili, Xinjiang, China. In this study, 18 polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated for the first time from G. pecorum. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 19 and the mean number of alleles was 10.78. Mean observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.5935 and 0.7751, respectively. These polymorphic markers will be powerful tools for assessment of parentage analysis, genetic diversity and population structure of this species.
