Karyotypes of male and female of S. fasciolata after different cytogenetic protocols. a female (2n = 50), b-d male (2n = 51). a, c conventional Giemsa staining, b dual-colour FISH with 45S rDNA (red, arrows) and 5S rDNA (green, arrowheads) probes, d C-banding. Putative sex chromosomes of female are boxed b, d next to those of the male karyotype. Note the presence of 5S rDNA site (b) and prominent pericentromeric heterochromatic region (d) on a putative X chromosome. Notice also a centromeric C-band on Y1 (d). Bar = 10 μm
