A comparative study of karyotypes and chromosomal location of rDNA genes in important liver flukes Fasciola hepatica and Fascioloides magna (Trematoda: Fasciolidae)
Original language description
Chromosomal characteristics, i.e., number, size, morphology, and location of ribosomal DNA clusters were examined in 2 medically important liver flukes, Fasciola hepatica and Fascioloides magna (Fasciolidae), using conventional Giemsa staining and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with ribosomal 18S rDNA probe. A comparison of F. magna and F. hepatica karyotypes confirmed significant differences in all chromosomal features. Whilst the karyotype of F. hepatica comprised ten pairs of chromosomes, the complement of F. magna was composed of 11 pairs of mediumsized subtelocentrics and submeta-metacentrics. Noticeable differences were found mainly in length and morphology of first chromosome pair. The observed cytogenetic differences were interpretedin terms of karyotype evolution of fasciolid flukes; F. hepatica may be regarded phylogenetically younger than F. magna. The present paper provides a pilot study on molecular cytogenetics within a group of hermaphroditic digenetic flukes.
