Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Mansonia mosquitoes transmit arboviruses to humans. This study describes the karyotypes and C-banding of Mansonia humeralis, Mansonia titillans, Mansonia pseudotitillans, and Mansonia indubitans.
METHODS: From the 202 larvae, the brain ganglia were dissected (n=120) for the preparation of slides. Twenty slides with well-distended chromosomes for each species (10 for karyotyping and 10 for C-banding) were selected for further study.
RESULTS: The haploid genome and the average lengths of the chromosomal arms differed in relation to the centromere between species, and intraspecific differences also occurred in the distribution of the C-bands.
CONCLUSIONS: These results are useful for better understanding of the chromosomal variability of Mansonia mosquitoes.

摘要：
背景：曼索尼亚蚊子将虫媒病毒传播给人类。这项研究描述了肱骨Mansonia的核型和C带，Mansoniatitillans,曼索尼亚假蒂蒂兰，还有Mansoniaindubitans.
方法：来自202个幼虫，解剖脑神经节（n=120）以制备载玻片。选择每个物种的20个染色体扩张良好的载玻片（10个用于核型分析，10个用于C带）进行进一步研究。
结果：物种之间的单倍体基因组和染色体臂的平均长度与着丝粒有关，种内差异也出现在C带的分布中。
结论：这些结果对于更好地了解曼索尼亚蚊子的染色体变异性很有用。
