European Lymnaeidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda), intermediate hosts of trematodiases, based on nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS-2 sequences

Abstract

Results suggest the convenience of reinvestigating compatibility differences after accurate lymnaeid species classification by ITS-2 sequencing.

Similarly, ITS-2 sequencing would allow a step forward in the appropriate rearrangement of the act
