Microphallus pseudopygmaeus (Digenea) infects phylogenetically distant gastropods, with signs of host-linked genetic divergence.

Parasite (Paris, France) - 1 Jan 2026

Sokolova Alina I, Galaktionov Kirill V, Gonchar Anna

Abstract excerpt

Host-switching between distantly related host species offers rare insight into how parasites overcome compatibility barriers and initiate evolutionary divergence. Microphallus pseudopygmaeus is exceptional among digeneans in its ability to infect gastropods from two distantly related subclasses, Vetigastropoda and Caenogastropoda. This study aimed to test the hypothesis about the species status of M....
