Network analysis with either Illumina or MinION reveals that detecting vertebrate species requires metabarcoding of iDNA from a diverse fly community
DNA obtained from invertebrates (iDNA) can be metabarcoded in order to survey vertebrate
communities. However, little attention has been paid to the interaction between the …

The potential of aquatic bloodfeeding and nonbloodfeeding leeches as a tool for iDNA characterisation
Leeches play important roles in food webs due to their abundance, diversity and feeding
habits. Studies using invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) extracted from leech gut contents to …

A new subspecies of Trypanosoma cyclops found in the Australian terrestrial leech Chtonobdella bilineata
Previously, it was suggested that haemadipsid leeches represent an important vector of
trypanosomes amongst native animals in Australia. Consequently, Chtonobdella bilineata …
