Echinostome trematode parasites have complex, multiple-host life-cycles, often involving migratory bird definitive hosts, thus leading to widespread distributions. Here, we examined the echinostome diversity in freshwater ecosystems at high latitude locations in Iceland, Finland, Ireland and Alaska (USA). We report 14 echinostome species identified morphologically and molecularly from analyses of nad1 and 28S rDNA sequence data. We found echinostomes parasitising snails of 11 species from the families Lymnaeidae, Planorbidae, Physidae and Valvatidae.

Echinostoma miyagawai Es. miyagawai belongs to the “37 collar-spined” or “revolutum” group, which is very difficult to identify and Echinostomatidae classify based only on morphological characters. Molecular techniques can resolve this problem. The present Mitochondrial genome study, for the first time, determined, and presented the complete Es. miyagawai mitochondrial genome. A Comparative analysis comparative analysis of closely related species, and a reconstruction of Echinostomatidae phylogeny among the Phylogenetic analysis trematodes, is also presented. The Es. miyagawai mitochondrial genome is 14,416 bp in size, and contains 12 protein-coding genes (cox1–3, nad1–6, nad4L, cytb, and atp6), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and one non-coding region (NCR). All Es. miyagawai genes are transcribed in the same direction, and gene arrangement in Es. miyagawai is identical to six other Echinostomatidae and Echinochasmidae species. The complete Es. miyagawai mitochondrial genome A + T content is 65.3%, and full- length, pair-wise nucleotide sequence identity between the six species within the two families range from 64.2–84.6%.

  • Larval Trematode Communities in Radix Auricularia and Lymnaea Stagnalis in a Reservoir System of the Ruhr River Para- Sites & Vectors 2010, 3:56
    Soldánová et al. Parasites & Vectors 2010, 3:56 http://www.parasitesandvectors.com/content/3/1/56 RESEARCH Open Access LarvalResearch trematode communities in Radix auricularia and Lymnaea stagnalis in a reservoir system of the Ruhr River Miroslava Soldánová†1, Christian Selbach†2, Bernd Sures*2, Aneta Kostadinova1 and Ana Pérez-del-Olmo2 Abstract Background: Analysis of the data available from traditional faunistic approaches to mollusc-trematode systems covering large spatial and/or temporal scales in Europe convinced us that a parasite community approach in well- defined aquatic ecosystems is essential for the substantial advancement of our understanding of the parasite response to anthropogenic pressures in urbanised areas which are typical on a European scale. Here we describe communities of larval trematodes in two lymnaeid species, Radix auricularia and Lymnaea stagnalis in four man-made interconnected reservoirs of the Ruhr River (Germany) focusing on among- and within-reservoir variations in parasite prevalence and component community composition and structure. Results: The mature reservoir system on the Ruhr River provides an excellent environment for the development of species-rich and abundant trematode communities in Radix auricularia (12 species) and Lymnaea stagnalis (6 species). The lake-adapted R. auricularia dominated numerically over L. stagnalis and played a major role in the trematode transmission in the reservoir system. Both host-parasite systems were dominated by bird parasites (13 out of 15 species) characteristic for eutrophic water bodies. In addition to snail size, two environmental variables, the oxygen content and pH of the water, were identified as important determinants of the probability of infection. Between- reservoir comparisons indicated an advanced eutrophication at Baldeneysee and Hengsteysee and the small-scale within-reservoir variations of component communities provided evidence that larval trematodes may have reflected spatial bird aggregations (infection 'hot spots').

The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of the genus Bilharziella in comparison to other bird schistosome species from Lake Drawsko À one of the largest recreational lakes in Poland, struggling with the huge problem of swimmer’s itch. In total, 317 specimens of pulmonate snails were collected and examined. The overall digenean infection was 35.33%. The highest bird schistosome prevalence was observed for Bilharziella sp.
