Genomes and geography: genomic insights into the evolution and phylogeography of the genus Schistosoma
TLDR
How modern genomic techniques may give a more in depth understanding of the evolution of schistosomes is examined and the complexity of speciation and divergence in this group is highlighted.

Whole genome analysis of a schistosomiasis-transmitting freshwater snail
TLDR
Parts of phero-perception, stress responses, immune function and regulation of gene expression that support the persistence of B. glabrata are described and several potential targets for developing novel control measures aimed at reducing snail-mediated transmission of schistosomiasis are identified.

Pathology and molecular analysis of Hapalotrema mistroides (Digenea: Spirorchiidae) infecting a Mediterranean loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta.
TLDR
This study describes the first fatal confirmed case of spirorchiidiasis in a free-ranging Mediterranean loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta (Linnaeus) and provides the first molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of H. mistroides from the Mediterranean Sea.

Reassignment of the land tortoise haemogregarine Haemogregarina fitzsimonsi Dias 1953 (Adeleorina: Haemogregarinidae) to the genus Hepatozoon Miller 1908 (Adeleorina: Hepatozoidae) based on parasite…
TLDR
Results indicated that apicomplexan DNA extracted from tortoise blood films and both species of tick had been amplified by one or both primer sets, making Hepatozoon fitzsimonsi (Dias, 1953) the only HepatoZoon known currently from any terrestrial chelonian.

Identification of a major causative agent of human cercarial dermatitis, Trichobilharzia franki (Müller and Kimmig 1994), in southern England and its evolutionary relationships with other European…
TLDR
This is the first accurate record of T. franki-associated human cercarial dermatitis as a re-emerging disease in the UK and is suggested that parasite distribution is the probable result of the movement of migratory waterfowl.

Molecular phylogenetics of tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) based on mitochondrial (COI, 16S, ND2) and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences, with an emphasis on the palpalis group.

A foreign invader or a reclusive native? DNA bar coding reveals a distinct European lineage of the zoonotic parasite Schistosoma turkestanicum (syn. Orientobilharzia turkestanicum ()).

Morphological and molecular characterization of a marine fish trypanosome from South Africa, including its development in a leech vector
TLDR
Combined morphological and molecular methods indicate that the trypanosomes examined here represent a single pleomorphic species, rather than the three species described originally.
