To date, morphological analysis has been the cornerstone to trematode systematics.
However, since the late-1980s we have seen an increased integration of genetic data to …

Members of the Diplostomoidea mature in amniotes and employ vertebrates, annelids and
molluscs as second intermediate hosts. Diplostomoid life cycles generally follow a three …

Digenea Carus, 1863 represent a highly diverse group of parasitic platyhelminths that infect
all major vertebrate groups as definitive hosts. Morphology is the cornerstone of digenean …

Abstract The Diplostomidae Poirier, 1886 is a large, globally distributed family of digeneans
parasitic in intestines of their definitive hosts. Diplostomum and Tylodelphys spp. are broadly …

Higher systematics within the Digenea, Carus 1863 have been relatively stable since a
phylogenetic analysis of partial nuclear ribosomal markers (rDNA) led to the erection of the …

Global loss of biodiversity is an ongoing process that concerns both local and global
authorities. Studies of biodiversity mainly involve traditional methods using morphological …

Background Genetic markers like the nuclear ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, internal
transcribed spacer regions, mitochondrial protein-coding genes, and genomes have been …

In the present study, we assembled the mitogenomes of Pleurotus citrinopileatus and
Pleurotus platypus. The circular mitogenome of the two Pleurotus species comprises a set of …

The family Miridae is one of the most species-rich families of insects. To better understand
the diversity and evolution of mirids, we determined the mitogenome of Lygus pratenszs and …

Reliable data on the diversity of the genus Diplostomum (Digenea: Diplostomidae)
parasitising freshwater fishes in South Africa, as well as in Africa, is almost non-existent …
