Phylogeographic genetic variation of Indoplanorbis exustus (Deshayes, 1834) (Gastropoda: Planorbidae) in South and Southeast Asia.

ABSTRACT: The freshwater snail Indoplanorbis exustus play an important role as the sole intermediate host of several medically- and economically-important trematodes, especially zoonotic schistosomes and echinostomes, which can infect and cause diseases in livestock and people. This study aims to explore the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 sequence variation of I. exustus collected from new geographical areas; 459 specimens of I. exustus were collected from 43 localities in South and Southeast Asia. The 42 haplotypes (Ie1 - Ie42) we detected were classified into haplogroups I - V. Phylogenetic analyses revealed five major clades, A - E, in concordance with all previous studies. Clade E contained two subclades, E1 (haplogroup I) and E2 (haplogroup II).
