Abstract Rhizocephalan barnacles are a unique group of endoparasitic crustaceans. In their extreme adaptation to endoparasitism, rhizocephalan adults have lost almost all features free-living relatives but acquired an outstanding degree control over the body hosts (mostly decapods). The subtle influence exercised by rhizocephalans on physiology, morphology and behaviour is vivid example most intimate host-parasite interactions mechanisms very poorly known. this study we examined adaptive...
Rhizocephala is a group of unique and highly specialized parasitic crustaceans.Due to specialization in endoparasitism adult rhizocephalans have lost almost all the traits free-living crustaceans.Despite large amount data on different aspects their biology there still insufficient knowledge interna morphology.The muscular system has been found described only for Peltogaster paguri from family Peltogastridae.The aim our study visualize describe Polyascus polygenea Sacculina pilosella (family...
<ns4:p><ns4:bold>Background</ns4:bold>: Rhizocephalan barnacles stand out in the diverse world of metazoan parasites. The body a rhizocephalan female is modified beyond revealing any recognizable morphological features, consisting interna, system rootlets, and externa, sac-like reproductive body. Moreover, rhizocephalans have an outstanding ability to control their hosts, literally turning them into “zombies”. Despite all these amazing traits, there no genomic transcriptomic data about...
Lysinibacillus sphaericus holds a significant agricultural importance by being able to produce insecticidal toxins and chemical moieties of varying antibacterial fungicidal activities. In this study, the genome L. strain 1795 is presented. Illumina short reads sequenced on HiSeq X platform were used obtain genome’s assembly applying SPAdes v3.15.4 software. The size based cumulative length 23 contigs reached 4.74 Mb, with respective N50 1.34 Mb. assembled carried 4672 genes, including 4643...
Abstract Orthonectida is a small group of parasites, which, according to recent studies, may be phylogenetically close Annelida. Here, we describe the musculature and serotonin‐like immunoreactive (SLIR) nervous system male adults Intoshia linei (Orthonectida) using immunohistochemistry confocal laser scanning microscopy. The whole muscular consists four outer longitudinal eight pairs inner semicircular muscle fibres. Immunohistochemistry revealed six cells at anterior part body, two...
Pygospio elegans Claparède, 1863 is a sedentary tube-dwelling annelid belonging to Spionidae family.Its prominent regeneration abilities, as well its small size, widespread distribution and environmental tolerance make P. perfect model for studying cellular molecular mechanisms of regeneration, larval postlarval growth.Here we performed staging which will be useful future studies the reparation process.We also described some morphological aspects anterior posterior post-traumatic collected...
Abstract Background Parasitic flatworms (Trematoda: Digenea) represent one of the most remarkable examples drastic morphological diversity among stages within a life cycle. Which genes are responsible for extreme differences in anatomy, physiology, behavior, and ecology stages? Here we report comparative transcriptomic analysis parthenogenetic amphimictic generations two evolutionary informative species Digenea belonging to family Psilostomatidae. Methods In this study transcriptomes rediae,...

Xiphidiocercariae is a non-taxonomic group of digenean larvae.These small cercariae are characterized by complex morphology, which complicates their accurate identification.Recently, we have devoted series papers to the least studied groups xiphidiocercariae -Cercariae virgulae and Cercariae microcotylae.Here present morphological description molecular phylogenetic analysis new microcotylous cercaria.We identified features that allow us distinguish this larva from all previously described...
The parasitic flatworms from Digenea group have been the object of numerous in-depth studies for several centuries. question evolutionary origin and transformation digenean complex life cycle remains relevant open due to biodiversity these parasites absence fossil records. However, modern technologies analysis methods allow get closer understanding molecular basis both realization its complication. In present study, we applied phylostratigraphy transcriptomics approaches available genomic...
Abstract Trematodes are one of the most remarkable animals with complex life cycles several generations. Life histories a parasitic flatworms include stages disparate morphological and physiological characteristics follow each other infect hosts ranging from mollusks to higher vertebrates. How does genome regulate development various forms how many genes needed functioning stages? similar molecular signatures in closely related species flatworms? Here we present comparative analysis...
