Dasypus novemcinctus (nine-banded armadillo) nine-banded armadillo; animal model for leprosy and multiple births Lineage: Eukaryota[10856]; Metazoa[5115]; Chordata[2487]; Craniata[2464]; Vertebrata[2464]; Euteleostomi[2443]; Mammalia[687]; Eutheria[513]; Xenarthra[8]; Cingulata[3]; Dasypodidae[1]; Dasypus[1]; Dasypus novemcinctus[1]

The nine-banded armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus, is found in South and North America. Armadillos are protected by a bony carapace which consists of scapular and pelvic shields separated by 7-11 bands in the mid-section. Armadillos are part of the placental super clade Xenarthra, which was the second placental clade to diverge after Afrotheria. More...D. novemcinctus is the only known animal model for leprosy, and is also used in studies of multiple births and delayed implantation of embryos. The Dasypus novemcinctus haploid genome is estimated to be 3000 Mb. The diploid genome is organized into 31 pairs of autosomes and two sex chromosomes. Less...
