“…A sample of cercariae specimens were preserved in ethanol 96% and frozen for molecular analyses. These analyses were performed on ribosomal DNA (mainly ITS1 e ITS2 regions) using standard techniques of DNA extraction, amplification by PCR and DNA sequencing (see protocols in Cremonte et al 2013Cremonte et al , 2015.…”

A checklist of cercariae parasitizing marine molluscs from Patagonian coast, Argentina, based on literature sources and new records here presented. In total, cercariae of 31 species of marine digeneans, including 11 new records here presented, are known to infect 20 species of molluscs (14 in nine gastropods species; 17 in 11 bivalve species). These records include two species of Aporocotylidae, four Bucephalidae, one Fellodistomidae, five Gymnophallidae, one Hemiuroidea, four Lepocreadiidae, two Microphallidae, five Monorchiidae, one Notocotylidae, one Philophthalmidae, two Renicolidae, one Schistosomatidae and two Zoogonidae. For each digenean species, their hosts, habitat type, localities, infection site, prevalence, life cycle advances, and access numbers in helminthological collections and GenBank, when available, are detailed. Regarding the life cycles, eight were completely elucidated and four were partially elucidated. Moreover, there are molecular data for 15 species. The data here presented constitutes an advance in the parasites biodiversity knowledge and their life cycles.

“…The excretory bladder was V-shaped with 2 arms reaching to the level of the oral sucker. The uterus was equipped with many loops and a small number of eggs; the egg size was 28 (27-29) μm long and 19 (17)(18)(19)(20)(21) μm wide.…”

“…Our specimens (P. duboisi) from Gochang-gun, Korea had only 1 compact or slightly lobed vitellarium. Thus, they differed from P. affinis, P. fossarum P. jamesoni, P. macrostomus, P. minutus, P. obscurum, P. rebecqui, P. sinonovaculae, P. skrjabini, P. somateriae, and P. strigatus which have a paired group of vitellaria and previously assigned to Meiogymnophallus [14,18]. Among the others, 7 species, including P. borinqueñae, P. bushi, P. chaii, P. donacis, P. duboisi, P. polymesoda, and P. rebunense, have a single compact vitellarium and were comparable with our specimens.…”

“…Their differential points from our specimens were as follows. P. borinqueñae is characterized by its small egg size (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) μm long) and the presence of gland cells around the oral sucker [4]. P. bushi has a small delicate body with fewer body spines, smaller lateral papillae, smaller pharynx, and shallower genital atrium [4].…”

Morphological and Molecular Confirmation of Parvatrema duboisi Metacercariae in the Manila Clam Ruditapes philippinarum from Gochang-gun, Korea

Gymnophallid metacercariae found in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum (‘Banjirak’ in Korean) from Gochang-gun, Jeollabuk-do, Korea were morphologically and molecularly confirmed to be Parvatrema duboisi (Dollfus, 1923) Bartoli, 1974. The metacercariae were morphologically characterized by having a large oral sucker, small ventral sucker, genital pore some distance anterior to the ventral sucker, no ventral pit, and 1 compact or slightly lobed vitellarium, which were all compatible with P. duboisi. Some of the metacercariae were experimentally fed to mice, and adult flukes were recovered at day 7 post-infection. The morphology of the adult flukes was basically the same as that of the metacercariae except for the presence of uterine eggs; the uterus was filled with up to 40 eggs. The nucleotide sequences (1,193 bp) from ITS regions (ITS1, 5.8S rDNA, and ITS2) of the metacercariae showed 99.7% identity with P. duboisi and 75.7% identity with Gymnophalloides seoi deposited in GenBank. These results confirmed the presence of P. duboisi metacercariae in the Manila clam R. philippinarum in an estuary region of Gochang-gun, Korea.
