Resumen
JERI APAZA, Cesar Hugo. Biological and molecular characterization of Panstrongylus sp. native of Peru. An. Fac. med. [online]. 2020, vol.81, n.2, pp.186-189. ISSN 1025-5583. http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/anales.v81i2.18157.
Objective.
To determine the biological and molecular characteristics of the Panstrongylus sp. native to northern Peru.
Methods.
Observational, descriptive study. Biological material from 5 different regions of northern Peru was used, and a sample of 50 specimens was selected by intentional sampling. For the characterization of the specimens at the molecular level, the ITS-2 marker of ribosomal DNA was used, using the PCR technique.
Results.
100% of the samples were classified as Panstrongylus herreri. At the molecular level, 3 different patterns of the ITS-2 band were observed: 960bp, 800bp and 750bp.
Conclusion.
100% of the samples were Panstrongylus herreri, captured in intra-household environments in northern regions of Peru, with an ITS-2 pattern.
