A new species of Helobdella (Hirudinida: Glossiphoniidae) from Oregon, USA

Zootaxa, 2013
Helobdella bowermani n. sp. is described from specimens collected in fine sediment of open water benthos of Upper Klamath Lake, Klamath County, Oregon. The new species has pale yellow/buff coloration with scattered chromatophore blotches throughout the dorsal surface, lateral extensions or papillae only on the a2 annulus, dorsal medial row of papillae ...

TWO NEW SPECIES OF AUSTROBDELLA (HIRUDINIDA: PISCICOLIDAE) FROM CHILE

Journal of Parasitology, 2007
Austrobdella coliumicus n. sp. is described from Coliumo Bay, Chile. It is characterized by a continuous, external coelomic canal (= marginal lacuna), 5 pairs of testisacs, accessory gland cells, a body not distinctly divided into trachelosome and urosome, 2 pairs of dorsal ocelli on the trachelosome, dorsal and ventral segmental ocelli present on the ...

Hemolymph analyses in medicinal leeches Hirudo verbana and H. sulukii (Hirudinida: Hirudinidae)

The aim of this study was to determine the hemocyte type of medicinal leeches, Hirudo sulukii and H. verbana. It was also determined the fractions of hemolymph proteins in these leech species. According to the analyses, four types of hemocyte (prohemocyte, plasmatocyte, granulocyte, and eleocyte) were detected in two species.

Molecular diagnosis of parasitic worms in leeches (Hirudinida)

2023
Molecular diagnosis was applied to identify parasitic worms in leeches, which are intermediate hosts and possibly participate in the transmission of parasites in molluscs, fishes, and birds. The knowledge of molecular diversity and taxonomic affiliation of the parasites occurring in leeches remains poorly known.

Hirudins and hirudin-like factors in Hirudinidae: implications for function and phylogenetic relationships

Parasitology Research, 2016
Haematophagous leeches express a broad variety of bioactive factors that are released from the salivary gland cells into the wound of a host during feeding. Among these, hirudin is probably the best studied factor and, moreover, the only one that has successfully made the transition from nature to clinical use. Many components of the leech saliva still

On the classification, evolution and biogeography of terrestrial haemadipsoid leeches (Hirudinida: Arhynchobdellida: Hirudiniformes)

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2008
A scourge of tropical and subtropical jungles, bloodfeeding terrestrial leeches of Haemadipsidae have long confused systematists and defied sensible biogeographic interpretation. The family Haemadipsidae usually includes problematic taxa that neither fit the typical IndoPacific distribution of the group, nor properly match diagnostic characters used to

Phylogeny of the leech family Erpobdellidae (Hirudinida : Oligochaeta)

Invertebrate Taxonomy, 2002
The phylogenetic relationships of the family Erpobdellidae, a group of non-sanguivorous leeches useful as bioindicators, were investigated with the combined use of morphological characters, mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, mitochondrial 12S rDNA and nuclear 18S rDNA.
