Two trematode species, Pseudoparabascus khotenovskii comb. n. and Acanthatrium ovatum (Trematoda: Microphalloidea), from East Asia: morphological and molecular data
Key Points
The research aims to classify two trematode species using morphological and molecular data.
Analyzed specimens from East Asia
Utilized morphological characteristics for identification
Employed molecular data from mtDNA and ITS2 rDNA regions to confirm taxonomy.
Confirmed the taxonomic classification of two trematode species
Identified morphological features specific to the species
Confirmed molecular relationships through genetic data analysis.
Abstract
mtDNA gene and the ITS2 rDNA region, have confirmed the assignment of these specimens obtained in both experiments to the above-considered taxonomic groups.
