Abstract excerpt
Diplodiscus japonicus (Yamaguti, 1936) and Diplodiscus mehrai (Pande, 1937) (Trematoda: Diplodiscidae) are parasitic trematodes infecting wood frogs (Anura: Ranidae) in Heilongjiang Province, China. In this study, we amplify the complete rDNA of five D. japonicus and five D. mehrai. The assembled sequences were processed using DNASTAR and MEGA X to evaluate the sequence length and genetic divergence of the 18S,...
