Draft mitochondrial genomes of Hirudo medicinalis and Hirudo verbana (Annelida, Hirudinea). [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2016
Here we present two incomplete mitochondrial genome sequences of Hirudo medicinalis and Hirudo verbana (Annelida, Hirudinea). The corresponding sequences are 14,729 and 14,604 base pairs in length. They contain all mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs and two rRNAs) but lack the non-coding region.

Hirudo medicinalis

, 2015
Hirudo medicinalis (Linnaeus, 1758) Remarks: This species was reported from Krupac (Blanchard 1905) and Pošćenska and Plavsko Lake (Sket 1968). However, as this species was in the past confused with Hirudo verbana, all former records from the Balkan area are questionable. Distribution: North, central and south­western Europe.

Antimicrobial Role of RNASET2 Protein During Innate Immune Response in the Medicinal Leech Hirudo verbana

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
The innate immune response represents a first-line defense against pathogen infection that has been widely conserved throughout evolution. Using the invertebrate Hirudo verbana (Annelida, Hirudinea) as an experimental model, we show here that the RNASET2
