• The phylogeny of the Lepocreadioidea (Platyhelminthes, Digenea) inferred from nuclear and mitochondrial genes: Implications for their systematics and evolution (2009, background): “Molecular results have shown that three of these families (Acanthocolpidae Lühe, 1906, Apocreadiidae Skrja- bin, 1942 and Brachycladiidae Odhner, 1905) are not closely related to the Lepocreadiidae Odhner, 1905 (Cribb et al. 2001, Olson et al. 2003, Bray et al. 2005).”
• A review of Polylekithum Arnold, 1934 and its familial affinities using morphological and molecular data, with description of Polylekithum catahoulensis sp. nov. (2006, methodology): “Inclusion of Saccocoelioides sp., Polylekithum spp., and several allocreadiids produced the only differences between our tree topology and that of Olson et al. (2003).”
• Echinostome infection in green frogs (Rana clamitans) is stage and age dependent (2007, methodology): “A portion of the 28s ribosomal DNA gene used by others to examine digenean trematode phylogeny was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using a digenean-specific primer Dig12 (50-AAG CAT ATC ACT AAG CGG) and a reverse primer LSU 1500R (50-GCT ATC CTG AGGGAA ACT TCG) (Tkach et al., 1999; Tkac”
• Invertebrate immune systems – not homogeneous, not simple, not well understood (2004, background): “For example, mollusks (especially gastropods) support the development of approximately 18,000 nominal species of digenetic trematodes that do great damage to these hosts (11).”
