High chromosomal mobility of r DNA clusters in holocentric chromosomes of Triatominae, vectors of Chagas disease ( Hemiptera‐Reduviidae )
3 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
The subfamily Triatominae (Hemiptera-Reduviidae) includes more than 150 blood-sucking species, potential vectors of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, causative agent of Chagas disease. A distinctive cytogenetic characteristic of this group is the presence of extremely stable chromosome numbers. Unexpectedly, the analyses of the chromosomal location of ribosomal gene clusters and other repetitive sequences place...
