Evolutionary diversity in polystomatids infecting tetraploid and octoploid Xenopus in East African highlands: biological and molecular evidence.

Parasitology - 1 Aug 2007

Jackson J A, Tinsley R C

Abstract excerpt

Species of Protopolystoma are monogenean flukes that only infect allopolyploid hosts in the anuran genus Xenopus. Multivariate analyses of morphometric sclerite characters in the nominal species Protopolystoma simplicis suggest that morphologically distinguishable populations occur in the tetraploid host, Xenopus laevis victorianus, and in each of the octoploid hosts, X. vestitus and X. wittei. The species-level...
