Mitochondrial DNA variation of Triatoma infestans populations and its implication on the specific status of T. melanosoma

Mitochondrial DNA variation of Triatoma infestans populations and its implication on the specific status of T. melanosoma

DNA sequence comparison of 412 base-pairs fragments of the mitochondrial cytochrome B gene was used to infer the genetic structure of nine geographical Triatoma infestans populations and their phylogenetic relationship with T. melanosoma and T. brasiliensis. T. infestans and T. melanosoma were compa...
