Molecular characterization of Tunga trimamillata and T. penetrans (Insecta, Siphonaptera, Tungidae): taxonomy and genetic variability
A new species of the genus Tunga, T. trimamillata has recently been described on the basis of several morphological traits. To explore the taxonomic status of this flea with respect to T. penetrans, we undertook a molecular analysis of cytochrome oxydase II and 16S rDNA mitochondrial genes and of th...
