Title: | Can avian flyways reflect dispersal barriers of clinostomid parasites? First evidence from the mitogenome of Clinostomum complanatum | Authors: | MONNENS, Marlies Halajian, Ali Littlewood, D. Tim J. Briscoe, Andrew G. ARTOIS, Tom VANHOVE, Maarten |
Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER | Source: | GENE, 851 (Art N° 146952) | Abstract: | Clinostomum complanatum (Rudolphi, 1814) is an economically important parasitic flatworm (Trematoda, Digenea), yet little is known on the population structure of these animals. We characterise a new mitochondrial genome for C. complanatum, derived from an Iranian specimen. The newly obtained sequence is used to position the species in the digenean tree of life. The first-ever intraspecific comparison at mitogenome scale within C. complanatum revealed a high degree of similarity to the previously sequenced mitogenome of a distant (Italian) population. Avian migratory routes mirror phylogenetic clustering, and hence we suggest that infection of a flying host enables genetic exchange between parasites across large geographic distances. Comparative mito-genomic work in Clinostomum spp. at both the intra-(C. complanatum) and interspecific (C. complanatum-C. sinensis) level further shows that usage of new and/or additional mitochondrial markers is preferred over single-gene methods for high-resolution diagnostics and population biology. | Notes: | Monnens, M (corresponding author), Hasselt Univ, Ctr Environm Sci, Res Grp Zool Biodivers & Toxicol, Agoralaan Gebouw D, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium. marlies.monnens@uhasselt.be; t.littlewood@nhm.ac.uk; a.briscoe@nhm.ac.uk; tom.artois@uhasselt.be; maarten.vanhove@uhasselt.be |
