The fluke Clinostomum complanatum, a parasite of piscivorous birds, but also reptiles and rarely mammals, has established several foci in the western Palaearctic regions. Previous studies pointed out the complicated taxonomy of the genus, but broader population genetic analysis of C. complanatum has not yet been carried out.

This paper addresses the population genetic structure of the forest-dwelling gonyleptid Geraeocormobius sylvarum (Arachnida, Opiliones). Phylogeographic analyses using cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) were conducted on 186 individuals from 43 localities in Argentina and Paraguay, arranged into nine operational sectors and defined upon geographic and vegetation features. Given the current environmental uniformity, it was aimed to assess whether molecular fingerprints of G.

Background: Haplotype networks are useful for investigating the genealogical relationships among haplotypes and have been extensively used in molecular evolution and population genetic studies. However, existing tools for visualizing haplotype networks lack comprehensive functionalities for data exploration and layout adjustments. Therefore, there is a need for a useful tool capable of constructing and visualizing haplotype networks, facilitating the exploration of data, particularly with datasets with large sample sizes.

Paragonimiasis, caused by infection with lung flukes of the genus Paragonimus, remains a significant public health concern in Southeast Asia. In Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), information on the distribution and genetic diversity of Paragonimus species is limited. This study investigated Paragonimus metacercariae in freshwater (mountain) crabs and analyzed their genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships.
