“…Nevertheless, integrative taxonomic approaches combining life-history traits, morphological characteristics, and molecular data will prove vital in filling the severe gap in trematode reference sequences (18,19). These efforts are challenging as they sometimes require interdisciplinary collaborations, but they are not insurmountable [see for example (56,57) or (58)].…”

Trematodes are snail-borne parasites of major zoonotic importance that infect millions of people and animals worldwide and frequently hybridize with closely related species. Therefore, it is desirable to study trematodiases in a One Health framework, where human and animal trematodes are considered equally important. It is within this framework that we set out to study the snail and trematode communities in four artificial lakes and an abattoir in Zimbabwe. Trematode infections in snails were detected through multiplex PCR protocols. Subsequently, we identified snails by sequencing a partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) fragment, and trematodes (adults from the abattoir and larval stages detected in snails) using COI and nuclear rDNA markers. Of the 1,674 collected snails, 699 were molecularly analyzed, in which we identified 12 snail and 19 trematode species. Additionally, three parasite species were sampled from the abattoir. Merely four trematode species were identified to species level through COI-based barcoding. Moreover, identification of members of the superfamilies Opisthorchioidea and Plagiorchioidea required a phylogenetic inference using the highly conserved 18S rDNA marker, as no related COI reference sequences were present in public databases. These barcoding challenges demonstrate a severe barcoding void in the available databases, which can be attributed to the neglected status of trematodiases. Adding to this, many available sequences cannot be used as different studies use different markers. To fill this gap, more studies on African trematodes, using a standardized COI barcoding region, are desperately needed.

“…Integrative taxonomy combining multiple kinds of data and complementary perspectives (e.g. morphology, ecology and DNA sequences) has been recognized as a particularly efficient means to species delimitation and genus-level classification ( Cruz-Barraza et al 2012 ; Heneberg et al 2015 ; Korshunova et al 2017 ). The mitogenome is considered a powerful marker and is extensively applied for resolving metazoan phylogenetic relationships at both deep and shallow taxonomic levels ( Cameron 2014 ; Zhou et al 2017 ).…”

Xizicus Gorochov, 1993, the quiet-calling katydid, is a diverse genus with 68 species in world, which includes more than 45 species in China, has undergone numerous taxonomic revisions with contradicting conclusions. In this study the complete mitochondrial genome of Xizicus (Haploxizicus) maculatus collected from Hainan for the first time was sequenced using the Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. The length of whole mitogenome is 16,358 bp and contains the typical gene arrangement, base composition, and codon usage found in other related species. The overall base composition of the mitochondrial genome is 37.0 % A, 32.2 % T, 20.2 % C, and 10.6 % G. All 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) began with typical ATN initiation codon. Nine of the 13 PCGs have a complete termination codon, but the remaining four genes (COI, COIII, ND5, and ND4) terminate with an incomplete T. Phylogenetic analyses are carried out based on the concatenated dataset of 13 PCGs and two rRNAs of Tettigoniidae species available in GenBank. Both Bayesian inference and Maximum Likelihood analyses recovered each subfamily as a monophyletic group. Regardless of the position of Lipotactinae, the relationships among the subfamilies of Tettigoniidae were as follows: ((((Tettigoniinae, Bradyporinae) Meconematinae) Conocephalinae) Hexacentrinae). The topological structure of the phylogeny trees showed that the Xizicus (Haploxizicus) maculatus is closer to Xizicus (Xizicus) fascipes than Xizicus (Eoxizicus) howardi.

“…We suggest that smaller size of the studied specimens is related to the relatively small size of the host. However, the qualitative characters (position of the ovary relatively to the ventral sucker, position of the vitellarium relatively to the testes and the ventral sucker, position of the uterine Heneberg et al (2015) from Corvus cornix, in Sharpilo & Iskova (1989) from Crex crex, present study from various hosts, in Heneberg et al (2015) from loops relatively to the ventral sucker and branches of the caecum) allowed to identify the studied specimens unambiguously. Cardiofi laria pavlovskyi was found in Europe, Asia and North America in a fairly wide range of bird-hosts belonging to Passeriformes, Falconiformes, Apodiformes, and Charadriiformes (Sitko and Okulewicz, 2010).…”

Prior to our studies, these two species have never been recorded in the corncrake on the territory of Ukraine or elsewhere.…”

New Records of Helminths of the Corncrake, Crex crex (Aves, Rallidae) from Ukraine. Syrota, Ya. Yu., Korol, E. M., Kuzmin, Yu. I. -Th e article presents the records and brief descriptions of the trematodes Brachylaima fuscata (Rudolphi, 1819), Prosthogonimus cuneatus (Rudolphi, 1809), Prosthogonimus ovatus (Rudolphi, 1803), and the nematode Cardiofi laria pavlovskyi Ström, 1937 based on the specimens collected from four corncrakes, Crex crex Linnaeus examined on the territory of Ukraine. In the country, P. cuneatus, P. ovatus, and C. pavlovskyi are reported for the fi rst time in this host-species.
