Abstract excerpt
The complete mitochondrial genomes of intermediate host snails for Schistosoma in China were sequenced, including the sub-species Oncomelania hupensis hupensis in two types, and O. hupensis robertsoni, intermediate hosts for S. japonicum, and Tricula hortensis, the intermediate host of S. sinensium. Four genomes have completely the same gene order as in other caenogastropods, containing 13 protein-coding genes...
