Article Synopsis
- Metacercariae of the Diplostomum genus are significant pathogens affecting the eyes and brains of freshwater fish, specifically studied in the minnow Phoxinus phoxinus from locations in Fennoscandia and Mongolia.
- This research utilized both morphological observations and molecular genetic analyses to differentiate between the parasites from these regions, revealing distinct differences in size and other characteristics.
- The study concluded that the Diplostomum species infecting minnows in Mongolia and Fennoscandia represent two previously unrecognized species associated with unique lineages of their fish host.
