Genetic differentiation of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni in hilly regions of China: Using the complete mitochondrial genome.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni is the only intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum in hilly regions of south-west China, which plays a key role during the transmission of Schistosomiasis. This study aimed to sequence the complete mitochondrial genome of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni and analyze genetic differentiation of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni.

Methods

Samples were from 13 villages in Yunnan Province of China, with 30 Oncomelania hupensis snails per village, and the complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced. A comprehensive analysis of the genetic differentiation of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni was conducted by constructing phylogenetic trees, calculating genetic distances, and analyzing identity.

Results

A total of 26 complete mitochondr
