Journal ArticleDOI
The phylogeny of the Schistosomatidae based on three genes with emphasis on the interrelationships of Schistosoma Weinland, 1858.
Anne E. Lockyer,Peter D. Olson,Pia Ostergaard,David Rollinson,David A. Johnston,S. W. Attwood,Vr Southgate,Petr Horák,S. D. Snyder,Thanh Hoa Le,Takeshi Agatsuma,Donald P. McManus,A. C. Carmichael,S. Naem,D. T. J. Littlewood +14 more
TL;DR: The principal findings are that Ornithobilharzia and AustrobilHarzia form a sister group to the Schistosoma; mammalian schistosomes appear paraphyletic and 2 TrichobilharZia species, T. ocellata and T. szidati, seem to be synonymous.
Book ChapterDOI
Paragonimiasis and the Genus Paragonimus
TL;DR: The review concentrates on literature that has appeared since the 1960s, mainly from Asia but also from Africa and the Americas, on numerous species of Paragonimus that cause disease in humans and experimental animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenies Inferred from Mitochondrial Gene Orders—A Cautionary Tale from the Parasitic Flatworms
Thanh Hoa Le,David Blair,Takeshi Agatsuma,Pierre-Francois Humair,Nick J.H. Campbell,Mori Iwagami,D. Timothy J. Littlewood,B. Peacock,David A. Johnston,J. Bartley,David Rollinson,Elisabeth A. Herniou,Dante S. Zarlenga,Donald P. McManus +13 more
TL;DR: Investigations on the mitochondrial genomes of two groups of human blood flukes within the genus Schistosoma revealed striking divergences in mitochondrial gene order, startled by the remarkable differences which came to light between the two groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular evidence of natural hybridization between Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica.
Takeshi Agatsuma,Yohei Arakawa,Moritoshi Iwagami,Yumiko Honzako,Umi Cahyaningsih,Shin-Yong Kang,Sung-Jong Hong +6 more
TL;DR: The present study strongly suggests interspecific cross-hybridization between the two species coexisting in Korea, and indicates an existence of different alleles at the loci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human fascioliasis and the presence of hybrid/introgressed forms of Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica in Vietnam.
Thanh Hoa Le,Nguyen Van De,Takeshi Agatsuma,Thanh Giang Thi Nguyen,Quoc Doanh Nguyen,Donald P. McManus,David Blair +6 more
TL;DR: The presence of hybrid and/or introgressed liver flukes in Vietnam where it has recently been recognised that human fascioliasis is an important zoonotic disease is reported.
