“…Molecular markers have proven to be more valuable and e cient than morphological methods for helminth identi cation. The ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) has been shown as a helpful population genetic marker to classify and identify helminths (Liu et al, 2015;Shi et al, 2018;Ran et al, 2020). However, Ophidascaris sp.…”

Members of genus Ophidascaris are common parasitic roundworms in snakes that cause gastric granulomas, adenocarcinomas, intestinal obstruction, death, and serious economic losses in snakes and their products. To identify molecular marker of Ophidascaris baylisi from the Burmese python (Python molurus bivittatus), we amplified internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence from this roundworm and analyzed their homology and phylogeny. The amplified ITS sequence length was 1140 bp, comprising the complete ITS1, 5.8S, and ITS2 sequences and a partial 28S sequence. The ITS1+ sequence was homologous (85.8% homology) to the related species Ophidascaris robertsi. The phylogenetic tree revealed a close genetic distance between O. baylisi and O. robertsi, which formed a separate branch within family Ascaridae clade. The results indicated that the identified ITS sequence could be a good molecular marker for further study on the molecular classification and genetic variation of Ophidascaris species.

The introduction of non-indigenous organisms in new areas in the context of host-parasite interactions is still poorly understood. This study aimed at a parasitological and histopathological comparison of two phylogenetically distinct forms of the freshwater snail Theodoxus fluviatilis in the River Rhine system: the native Northern-European form, which showed a decline for unknown reasons and is nowadays extinct in the River Rhine, and the non-indigenous Danubian form, which was introduced via the Main–Danube canal. We histopathologically examined populations of Northern-European T. fluviatilis from three smaller rivers of the Rhine system and of Danubian T. fluviatilis from the River Rhine, after confirming the phylogenetic background of the respective population genetically. Results showed differences in the prevalence of trematodes and histopathologic organic alterations between the two snail forms. Both were infected with an opecoelid trematode Plagioporus cf. skrjabini, whereby its prevalence was significantly higher in the Northern-European than in the Danubian form. The parasitic trematode is, to our knowledge, a new trematode species in the River Rhine system, presumably co-introduced through the invasion of its second intermediate and final hosts, i.e. Ponto-Caspian amphipods and gobies. Its impact on native populations of Northern-European T. fluviatilis needs to be subject of future studies.
