Species-specific PCR primers for identification of the sibling species Chironomus plumosus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Chironomus balatonicus (Devai, Wuelker et Scholl, 1983) (Chironomidae, Diptera)

Applicability of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with species-specific primers to obtaining molecular markers for identification of the sibling species of Chironomus plumosus group - C. plumosus and C. balatonicus - has been estimated. The nucleotide sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS...
