Ribosomal DNA as molecular markers and their applications in the identification of fish parasites (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea) from India

A review of Monogenean diversity in India: Pathogens of fish diseases

“…Additional molecular sampling might uncover the diversity of these species rich group of parasites but this trend has not much popular in case of monogeneans. In India, only a few species of freshwater monogeneans has been sequenced through studies of some workers [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] . But with this data, it is difficult to establish the phylogeny and discuss the validity of freshwater monogenean having very minute differences in their body parts.…”
