Characteristics of constitutive heterochromatin (C-band) and telomere localizations of schistosome species. (A) A representative C-band pattern of seven autosomes and the Z and W sex chromosomes in S. haematobium. (B) Similarity and dissimilarity of C-band patterns among six schistosome species. The black and white gradation shows the grade of resemblance, and the pattern indicates similarity of the C-band and type in each chromosome of the six schistosomes. (C) Localization of telomere sequence in the W chromosome of S. haematobium (SHAE), S. mansoni (SMAN), S. japonicum (SJAP), and S. sinensium (SSIN). Black represents the C-band, and gray represents the positive site to the telomere sequence in (A,C). See also Hirai et al., 2000.
