Abstract excerpt
The phylogeographic structure of the land snail Camaena cicatricosa was analyzed in this study based on mitochondrial gene (COI and 16srRNA, mt DNA) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) sequences in 347 individuals. This snail is the vector of the zoonotic food-borne parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis and one of the main harmful snails distributed exclusively in China. The results revealed significant...
