The Caribbean is a biodiversity hotspot for photosynthetic sea slugs, with about 27
described species in the genus Elysia Risso, 1818. However, many species are poorly …

Parasites have evolved independently in numerous animal lineages, and they now make up
a considerable proportion of the biodiversity of life. Not only do they impact humans and …

The world's gastropod fauna from continental waters comprises∼ 4,000 valid described
species and a minimum of 33–38 independent lineages of Recent Neritimorpha …

Les trématodes parasites partagent une relation intime avec les gastéropodes, leurs hôtes
intermédiaires, qui servent de véhicule à leur développement et à leur transmission. Ces …

We used phylogenetic analyses of cytochrome b sequences of malaria parasites and their
avian hosts to assess the coevolutionary relationships between host and parasite lineages …

Background Lymnaeidae snails play a prominent role in the transmission of helminths,
mainly trematodes of medical and veterinary importance (eg., Fasciola liver flukes). As this …

Phylogenetic relationships among higher clades of pulmonate gastropods are reconstructed
based on a data set including one nuclear marker (complete ribosomal 18S) and two …

(kleptoplasty) is known only from the sea slug taxon Sacoglossa (Gastropoda …

Although most studies of digenetic trematodes of the family Schistosomatidae dwell on
