Schistosomes are digenean flukes, parasitic of birds, mammals and crocodiles. The family Schistosomatidae contains species of considerable medical and veterinary importance, which cause the disease schistosomiasis. Previous studies, both morphological and molecular, which have provided a good deal of information on the phylogenetics of this group, have been limited in the number of species investigated or the type or extent of molecular data used. This paper presents the most comprehensive…

pathogens Phylogenomics and Diversification of the Schistosomatidae Based on Targeted Sequence Capture of Ultra-Conserved Elements

This study presents a near-comprehensive family-level phylogeny providing resolution to several clades of long-standing uncertainty within Schistosomatidae, including resolution for the placement of the North American mammalian schistosomes, implying a second separate capture of mammalian hosts.

A DNA sequence-based study of the Schistosoma indicum (Trematoda: Digenea) group: population phylogeny, taxonomy and historical biogeography

Southeast Asian Schistosoma spindale and S. incognitum populations were shown to fall into their respective con-specific cohesive groupings and a revised phylogeographical model is proposed in the light of these findings.

A revision of the interrelationships of Schistosoma including the recently described Schistosoma guineensis.

Polymorphism of the cox1 gene in cercariae isolates of bird schistosomes (Trematoda:Schistosomatidae) from ponds of Moscow and Moscow region

Divergence of the three birdschistosome species under study and divergence of the Asian species of mammalian schistosomes were almost concurrent, dating back to 2.5–3.8 Myr ago.

Phylogeny and systematics of the Proterodiplostomidae Dubois, 1936 (Digenea: Diplostomoidea) reflect the complex evolutionary history of the ancient digenean group

Comparison of the structure of terminal ducts of the reproductive system in all proterodiplostomid genera did not support the use of these structures for differentiation among subfamilies (or major clades) within the family, although they proved to be useful for distinguishing among genera and species.

A phylogeny based on three mitochondrial genes supports the division of Schistosoma intercalatum into two separate species

Preliminary phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial data demonstrates a clear dichotomy between the 2 purported strains of Schistosoma intercalatum and it is proposed that they should be treated as distinct taxa.

EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE SCHISTOSOMATIDAE (PLATYHELMINTHES: DIGENEA) AND AN ASIAN ORIGIN FOR SCHISTOSOMA

This study provides little evidence concerning the ancestral molluscan or vertebrate schistosome host but does demonstrate that host switching has been an important feature of schistOSome evolution.

Molecular phylogeny of Schistosoma species supports traditional groupings within the genus.

Phylogenetic relationships among 9 blood flukes were inferred from nucleotide sequences of the D1 domain of large sub unit rRNA and the V4 region of small subunit rRNA, more conserved than those examined by previous authors and thus may provide insight into deeper-level relationships.

Some molecular insights into schistosome evolution.

Evolutionary relationships and biogeography of Biomphalaria (Gastropoda: Planorbidae) with implications regarding its role as host of the human bloodfluke, Schistosoma mansoni.

It is confirmed that a proto-Biomphalaria glabrata gave rise to all African species through a trans-Atlantic colonization of Africa, and interesting patterns occur regarding schistosome susceptibility: the most susceptible hosts belong to a single clade, and several susceptible Neotropic species are sister groups to apparently refractory species, and some basal lineages are susceptible.

Affinities between Asian non-human Schistosoma species, the S. indicum group, and the African human schistosomes

A scenario for the evolution of the S. indicum group is discussed, with tree analyses using both distance and parsimony methods showing the group not to be monophyletic.

A molecular phylogeny of the human schistosomes.

Both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA data strongly support "traditional" hypotheses that members of the Schistosoma haematobium group form a monophyletic clade, and the African schistosomes form a clade to the exclusion of the two Asian species.

Molecular phylogenetics of the four Schistosoma species groups determined with partial 28S ribosomal RNA gene sequences

Results confirm a phylogeny previously suggested by 18S rRNA gene sequences, corroborating the status of S. spindale as a sister taxon to S. haematobium, and demonstrate the utility of 28S r RNA gene sequence data for resolving phylogenies within the Schistosomatidae.

Molecular phylogenetic position of Schistosoma sinensium in the genus Schistosoma

Trees inferred from DNA sequences place S. sinensium as sister to the S. japonicum group and suggest a basal position in the clade utilizing snails of the family Pomatiopsidae.

Evolutionary relationships between trematodes and snails emphasizing schistosomes and paragonimids

This work investigates the types of evolutionary relationships between host and parasite, operating at different phylogenetic depths, that might explain current host specificity and distributions of both associates, and considers that phylogenetic tracking rather than an arms-race relationship might be a common alternative.
