TL;DR: Parts of phero-perception, stress responses, immune function and regulation of gene expression that support the persistence of B. glabrata are described and several potential targets for developing novel control measures aimed at reducing snail-mediated transmission of schistosomiasis are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogenetics of tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) based on mitochondrial (COI, 16S, ND2) and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences, with an emphasis on the palpalis group.

TL;DR: The resulting phylogeny confirms the monophyly of the morphologically defined fusca, morsitans and palpalis subgenera and confirms the existence of cryptic species within this subspecies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomes and geography: genomic insights into the evolution and phylogeography of the genus Schistosoma
Scott P Lawton,Scott P Lawton,Scott P Lawton,Hirohisa Hirai,Joseph E. Ironside,David A. Johnston,David A. Johnston,David Rollinson +7 more
TL;DR: How modern genomic techniques may give a more in depth understanding of the evolution of schistosomes is examined and the complexity of speciation and divergence in this group is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological and molecular characterization of a marine fish trypanosome from South Africa, including its development in a leech vector
Polly M Hayes,Polly M Hayes,Scott P Lawton,Nico J. Smit,Wendy Gibson,Angela J. Davies,Angela J. Davies +6 more
TL;DR: Combined morphological and molecular methods indicate that the trypanosomes examined here represent a single pleomorphic species, rather than the three species described originally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reassignment of the land tortoise haemogregarine Haemogregarina fitzsimonsi Dias 1953 (Adeleorina: Haemogregarinidae) to the genus Hepatozoon Miller 1908 (Adeleorina: Hepatozoidae) based on parasite morphology, life cycle and phylogenetic analysis of 18S rDNA sequence fragments.
TL;DR: Results indicated that apicomplexan DNA extracted from tortoise blood films and both species of tick had been amplified by one or both primer sets, making Hepatozoon fitzsimonsi (Dias, 1953) the only HepatoZoon known currently from any terrestrial chelonian.
