Meiotic chromosomes and sex determination mechanism in Thailand and Hawaii isolates of Angiostrongylus cantonensis (Nematoda: Angiostrongylidae)
Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the nematode lungworm of rats, has a XX/X0 sex-determination mechanism. The chromosome constitution consists of 10 autosomes, with 2n = 12, XX in the female and 2n = 11, X0 in the male. Meiosis-I shows five bivalents and one univalent for the male worm, and six bivalents...
