BackgroundRepresentatives of the trematode family Fasciolidae are responsible for major socio-economic losses worldwide. Fascioloides magna is an important pathogenic liver fluke of wild and domestic ungulates. To date, only a limited number of studies concerning the molecular biology of F. magna exist. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to determine the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence of F. magna, and assess the phylogenetic relationships of this fluke with other trematodes based on the mtDNA dataset.FindingsThe complete F. magna mt genome sequence is 14,047 bp. The gene content and arrangement of the F. magna mt genome is similar to those of Fasciola spp., except that trnE is located between trnG and the only non-coding region in F. magna mt genome. Phylogenetic relationships of F. magna with selected trematodes using Bayesian inference (BI) was reconstructed based on the concatenated amino acid sequences for 12 protein-coding genes, which confirmed that the genus Fascioloides is closely related to the genus Fasciola; the intergeneric differences of amino acid composition between the genera Fascioloides and Fasciola ranged 17.97–18.24 %.ConclusionsThe determination of F. magna mt genome sequence provides a valuable resource for further investigations of the phylogeny of the family Fasciolidae and other trematodes, and represents a useful platform for designing appropriate molecular markers.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s13071-016-1699-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…A second trematode species (type III; Figure 5) found in B. truncatus belongs to the family Notocotylidae, a family of bird and mammalian herbivore parasites closely related to the Paramphistomoidae (Olson et al, 2003;Ma et al, 2016). Notocotylids have a two -host life cycle, with adults residing in the caeca and hindgut of birds and the intestine of mammals (Kearn 1998 Some members of the Psilostomidae have been implicated in human infections in Asia (Chai et al, 2009).…”

Background: Freshwater gastropod-borne trematodes pose a great public health burden and cause major economic losses in the livestock and fish industries. Knowledge on the composition, diversity and ecology of both gastropods and trematodes communities is key to understand disease transmission dynamics and control trematodiases of economic significance. The objective of this study is to investigate the diversity and spatio-temporal ecological trends of gastropod and trematode communities on the Northern shore of Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe, the largest artificial lake in volume worldwide. Methods: A sampling campaign was undertaken at 16 sites along the lake shoreline of Kariba town. Gastropods and water samples were collected monthly during one year. All 2477 specimens were identified, counted and subjected to shedding experiments; infection status was confirmed by the use of a Rapid Diagnostic PCR (RD-PCR). To explain spatio-temporal trends in gastropod and trematode occurrence, water samples were analysed for different physico-chemical parameters including pH, temperature, nitrates and phosphates. Results: Gastropod species collected include Bulinus truncatus, Bulinus forskalii, Gyraulus sp., Pseudosuccinea columella, Radix sp, Physella acuta, Bellamya sp. and Melanoides tuberculata. Bulinus truncatus was found to be infected with trematode species belonging to the families Notocotylidae, Psilostomstidae, Paramphistomidae and Diplostomatidae. A species of the latter family was also found to infect B. forskalii. As previously reported, lymnaeid species P. columella and Radix sp. were both infected with a species belonging to the Fasciolidae family, while Radix sp. was also infected with amphistomes. Conclusions: We confirm the occurrence of new species of gastropods in Lake Kariba and the absence of the previously reported B. pfeifferi and B. globosus. This explains the absence of human schistosome species, but we report the presence of other trematode families that have not been reported in Lake Kariba or Zimbabwe before. Compared to the latest study in 2001, there is a remarkable shift in the gastropod community, which is likely driven by the introduction of exotic gastropod species that are now abundant in the lake.

“…With the continuous development of bioinformatics and sequencing technology, more and more mtDNA of trematodes has been decoded [11], and their structural characteristics have been gradually analyzed. The complete mitochondrial genome of Ogmocotyle sikae and Clonorchis sinensis has been sequenced and systemically analyzed [12,13]. Among nearly 500 species in family Echinostomatidae, the mitochondrial genome of only 2 species, Hypoderaeum conoideum (KM111525) and Echinostoma hortense (NC028010) have been reported in the literature [14].…”

Echinostoma revolutum is a zoonotic food-borne intestinal trematode that can cause intestinal bleeding, enteritis, and diarrhea in human and birds. To identify a suspected E. revolutum trematode from a red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis) and to reveal the genetic characteristics of its mitochondrial (mt) genome, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and complete mt genome sequence of this trematode were amplified. The results identified the trematode as E. revolutum. Its entire mt genome sequence was 15,714 bp in length, including 12 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and one non-coding region (NCR), with 61.73% A+T base content and a significant AT preference. The length of the 22 tRNA genes ranged from 59 bp to 70 bp, and their secondary structure showed the typical cloverleaf and D-loop structure. The length of the large subunit of rRNA (rrnL) and the small subunit of rRNA (rrnS) gene was 1,011 bp and 742 bp, respectively. Phylogenetic trees showed that E. revolutum and E. miyagawai clustered together, belonging to Echinostomatidae with Hypoderaeum conoideum. This study may enrich the mitochondrial gene database of Echinostoma trematodes and provide valuable data for studying the molecular identification and phylogeny of some digenean trematodes.
