“…The non-exhaustiveness of molecular databases is a further issue encountered when studying Eustrongylides as the vast majority of available sequences are identified up to the genus level for these organisms. As previously noted by Shamsi et al ( 2023a , b ), there is no sequence available for E. tubifex and very few for E. excisus , which prevents any definite conclusion regarding the identification of the Corsican specimens. The simultaneous study of morphological features and DNA sequences of several Eustrongylides species could enable clarification of this situation.…”

“…Clinostomum complanatum has been reported from several Lymnaeidae (Gastropoda) species pertaining to various genera, such as Radix euphratica (Mousson, 1874), Radix plicatula (W. H. Benson, 1842), Ampullaceana balthica (Linnaeus, 1758), Lymnaea stagnalis (Linnaeus, 1758) and Bullastra lessoni (Deshayes, 1831) (Gibson 2019 ; Nazarbeigy et al 2021 ; Shamsi et al 2023a , b ; Wang et al 2017 ). Even though there are no available data concerning malacological communities of Padula reservoir, several Lymnaeidae have been reported from Corsica: Stagnicola palustris (O. F. Müller, 1774), Galba truncatula (O. F. Müller, 1774), Peregriana peregra (O. F. Müller, 1774) and Pseudosuccinea columella (Say, 1817) (Alba et al 2023 ; Dominici et al 1996 ; Orsini 2008 ).…”

Introduced species have a major impact on freshwater ecosystems, particularly on islands. Numerous fish species have been introduced in Corsica (Mediterranean island, southern France) as part of planned programs or clandestinely. The introduction of non-native freshwater fish species can have a range of impacts on the recipient ecosystem, including through the co-introduction of its pathogens. A sample of introduced perch Perca fluviatilis Linnaeus, 1758 from the artificial reservoir of Padula was examined following a report of parasites by an angler. The analyses revealed the occurrence of Eustrongylides sp. (Nematoda) and Clinostomum complanatum (Digenea), two zoonotic parasites in P. fluviatilis. Both parasites are reported for the first time in France. Eustrongylides sp. and C. complanatum may have been introduced with their fish intermediate hosts or through their final bird hosts. The occurrence of the two parasites raises concerns from both a veterinary and human health perspective as they can use a wide range of amphibians as intermediate hosts and can be acquired in humans through the consumption of raw or undercooked fish.

“…Zoonoses among the diseases transmitted by freshwater snails have been recognised as an important component of several parasitical diseases ( Chontananarth et al, 2017 ). Some species of freshwater snails being an important intermediate hosts of trematode parasites ( Borgsteede, 2004 ; Shamsi et al, 2023 ).…”

Phyllodistomum is the large digenean group of fish parasites, with 25 species described so far in the Indian subcontinent. Here, we redescribed two adult species of Phyllodistomum (P. srivastava Rai 1964 and P. parorchium Jaiswal 1957) collected from freshwater fish Heteropneustes fossilis Bloch, 1974 and Glossogobius giuris Ham, 1822, respectively, and an unknown Phyllodistomum metacercaria from shrimp (Macrobrachium dayanum Henderson, 1893). These parasites were genetically characterized using 28S and first and second internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) regions of the nuclear ribosomal DNA and CoxI region of the mitochondrial (mt) DNA to establish the link between metacercaria and adult. Morphologically, both the unknown metacercaria in shrimp and adult Phyllodistomum srivastava in fish, resembled in terms of crenulated margin of hind body, arrangement of diagonal testes, bipartite seminal vesicle, and compact paired vitelline masses. The two adult parasite species, P. srivastava from P. parorchium, were different in terms of shape and size of the body, ratio of suckers, the absence of crenulated margin of hind body, a single chambered seminal vesicle, and deeply lobed paired vitelline masses, in the former species. Comparison of the 28S, ITS, and mtCoxI sequence data suggested P. srivastava and Phyllodistomum metacercaria belong to the same species, and supported the distinction between P. srivastava and P. parorchium. Exploring the potential impact of Phyllodistomum infection on host behaviour and health would be prospective areas for future research.
