Abstract excerpt
Parastrigea diovadena Dubois and Macko, 1972, is an allogenic trematode species that infects the intestine of white ibis. This widely distributed Neotropical species has been studied poorly, and nothing is known about its population genetic structure. In the current study, we attempt to fill this gap for the first time and to explore the genetic diversity in P. diovadena populations from three biogeographic...
