Abstract:Anastrepha fraterculus is an economically important fruit fly pest in South America, and it is currently recognized as a complex of cryptic species. This insect has a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 12, a XX/XY sex chromosome system and five pairs of autosomes. Specifically for the morphotype A. fraterculus sp. 1, the single member of this complex detected in Argentina, two variants of each sex chromosome have been described. In this study, we used comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to assess the molec… Show more
