Phylogeny of freshwater viviparid snails in Japan [PDF]
We document extensive incongruence between molecular phylogeny and the current taxonomy of the freshwater gastropod family Viviparidae in Japan. A phylogeny based on the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I and 16S rRNA genes for East Asian viviparids comprises three major clades, the two largest of which are composed primarily of paraphyletic or

LARVAL STAGES OF TREMATODES IN FRESHWATER SNAILS OF THE CHORNOBYL ZONE OF RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION
In 1986, at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Exclusion Zone after an industrial accident, ecosystems began to have several features that distinguish them from the objects of the natural reserve fund. Parasitic systems are an informative indicator

Draft genome of Semisulcospira libertina, a species of freshwater snail [PDF]
Semisulcospira libertina, a species of freshwater snail, is widespread in East Asia. It is important as a food source. Additionally, it is a vector of clonorchiasis, paragonimiasis, metagonimiasis, and other parasites. Although S. libertina has ecological, commercial, and clinical importance, its whole-genome has not been reported yet.
