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.

The neuro-muscular system (NMS) in cercariae of the family Schistosomatidae from Belarus was studied with immunocytochemical methods and confocal scanning laser microscopy. The specimens of Bilharziella polonica were compared with Trichobilharzia szidati and Trichobilharzia franki. The patterns of F-actin in the musculature, 5-HT-immunoreactive (IR), FMRFamide-IR neuronal elements and α-tubulin-IR in sensory receptors and nerves were investigated.

Partial sequences of mitochondrial genes nad1 (316 bp) and cox1 (429 bp) were analyzed to estimate the variability of the liver fluke samples collected in 20 localities in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, and China. The sequences had 4.1% (nad1) and 2.
