  • Title: Alligator wrestling: morphological, molecular, and phylogenetic data on Odhneriotrema incommodum (Leidy, 1856) (Digenea: Clinostomidae) from Alligator mississippiensis Daudin, 1801 in Mississippi, USA.

    Abstract:
    Based on specimens collected from harvested American alligator Alligator mississippiensis Daudin, 1801 in Mississippi, USA, novel molecular data for both nuclear ribosomal genes (18S, ITS1-5.8S, ITS2, and 28S) and mitochondrial genes (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase subunit 1) are provided for Odhneriotrema incommodum (Leidy, 1856), a trematode of the family Clinostomidae Lühe, 1901 infecting A. mississippiensis and the Florida spotted gar Lepisosteus platyrhincus DeKay, 1842. This represents the first sequencing data available for the genus Odhneriotrema and the subfamily Nephrocephalinae Travassos, 1928. Additionally, the results of phylogenetic analyses, additional morphometric data, a photomicrograph, and a line drawing supporting the present identification of O. incommodum are provided. These data will aid in elucidating the life cycle of O. incommodum through molecular identification of larval stages as well as understanding the evolutionary history of Clinostomidae and its subfamilies. Implications for the currently accepted organization of the Clinostomidae are discussed.
