Haemaphysalis sulcata (Acarina, Ixodidae) is a common ectoparasite of wild artiodactyls (mouflon and wild goat) in Sierra Nevada (Granada, southern Spain). A study of the spermatogonial meiosis of 15 H. sulcata males was carried out. The diploid complement is 2n = 21 and its sex determination is XX:XO. The behavior of the chromosomes in the different stages of meiosis was also investigated, and the possible presence of a secondary nucleolar organizer region in H. sulcata is discussed.
苏氏血蜱(蜱螨亚纲,硬蜱科)是西班牙南部格拉纳达内华达山脉野生偶蹄目动物(摩弗伦羊和野山羊)常见的体表寄生虫。对15只苏氏血蜱雄性个体的精原细胞减数分裂进行了研究。其二倍体染色体数目为2n = 21,性别决定方式为XX:XO。还研究了减数分裂不同阶段染色体的行为,并讨论了苏氏血蜱中可能存在的次级核仁组织区。
