Phylogenomics and Diversification of the Schistosomatidae Based on Targeted Sequence Capture of Ultra-Conserved Elements [PDF]

Pathogens, 2022
Schistosomatidae Stiles and Hassall 1898 is a medically significant family of digenetic trematodes (Trematoda: Digenea), members of which infect mammals or birds as definitive hosts and aquatic or amphibious gastropods as intermediate hosts.

Nuclear intron sequence analysis and its implications for molecular systematics of Asian zoonotic blood flukes (Schistosoma spp.) (Trematoda: Schistosomatidae) [PDF]

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases
This study explored genetic variation among and within Schistosoma japonicum, S. mekongi, and S. malayensis populations using two intronic regions of the taurocyamine kinase (TK) gene, the bridge intron (TkBridInt) and intron 6 of domain 1 (TkD1Int6 ...

First record of Macrobilharzia (Digenea: Schistosomatidae) from Phalacrocorax lucidus in South Africa, with molecular evidence suggesting a distinct species [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Schistosomatid flukes are mainly found in the vascular system of their definitive hosts. Avian schistosomatids, represented by 13 genera, are blood parasites affecting snails and aquatic birds in their larval and adult stages, respectively, with the ...
