The complete mitochondrial genome of Ogmocotyle ailuri: gene content, composition and rearrangement and phylogenetic implications [PDF]
Parasitology, 2023 Trematodes of the genus Ogmocotyle are intestinal flukes that can infect a variety of definitive hosts, resulting in significant economic losses worldwide. However, there are few studies on molecular data of these trematodes.

The potential use of mitochondrial ribosomal genes (12S and 16S) in DNA barcoding and phylogenetic analysis of trematodes [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2022 Background Genetic markers like the nuclear ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, internal transcribed spacer regions, mitochondrial protein-coding genes, and genomes have been utilized for molecular identification of parasitic trematodes. However, challenges such

Phyllodistomum vaili(Plagiorchiida: Gorgoderidae) infecting Parupeneus rubescens (Perciformes: Mullidae): morphology and phylogeny [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Parasitology, 2020 Knowledge of the Arabian Gulf fish’s parasite fauna is very poor. Until recently, only scattered reports from different locations are known for ecto- and endoparasites.

First molecular identification of the trematode Maritrema bonaerense Etchegoin & Martorelli, 1997 (Plagiorchiida, Microphallidae) from its intermediate hosts, the gastropod Heleobia australis (d’Orbigny, 1835) (Littorinimorpha, Cochliopidae) and the crab Neohelice granulata (Dana, 1851) (Decapoda, Varunidae) in Argentina [PDF]
Zoosystematics and Evolution, 2023 The genus Maritrema Nicoll, 1907 (Platyhelminthes, Trematoda, Plagiorchiida, Microphallidae) comprises cosmopolitan species that predominantly parasitize birds.

Trematode infection affects shell shape and size in Bulinus tropicus [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022 Trematodes can increase intraspecific variation in the phenotype of their intermediate snail host. However, the extent of such phenotypic changes remains unclear.

Mitochondrial genomes of two eucotylids as the first representatives from the superfamily Microphalloidea (Trematoda) and phylogenetic implications [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background The Eucotylidae Cohn, 1904 (Superfamily: Microphalloidea), is a family of digeneans parasitic in kidneys of birds as adults. The group is characterized by the high level of morphological similarities among genera and unclear systematic value ...

Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of Dollfustrema vaneyi (Trematoda: Bucephalidae) [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground The Bucephalidae is a large family of digenean trematodes but most previous analyses of its phylogenetic position have relied on a single mitochondrial gene or morphological features.

Characterization of the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Pleurogenoides japonicus (Digenea, Pleurogenidae): Comparison With the Members of Microphalloidea and Phylogenetic Implications. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Pleurogenoides japonicus, being the first described of the family Pleurogenidae. The gene arrangement types of Xiphidiata trematodes are diverse, and the gene arrangement events mainly occurred in “trnE‐trnG” and “trnG‐trnE”.

Parasite infection and the movement of the aquatic snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum along a depth cline. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We provide evidence for behavioral manipulation of the snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum by the parasite Atriophallophorus winterbourni: infected snails seem to prefer the shallowest habitat. We were interested in movement across littoral habitat zones, and in order to test this, we designed cages that span a depth gradient in the lake.
