Fig 5. Morphological and phylogenetic features of B. straminea collected in fields and kept in laboratory.
(A) Picture of B. straminea snails, upper: black colored snail; down: red colored snail. (B) Example of PCR amplifying S. mansoni specific 18S rRNA sequence extracted from field captured B. straminea (Lane 1–4), laboratorial cultured B. straminea (Lane 5), negative control (Lane 6) and adult worms of S. mansoni (Lane 7). Lane 8: 210 bp marker. (C) Neighbour-joining tree constructed based on K2P+G model for 18S rRNA sequences of B. straminea samples collected from different sites in south China. (D) Neighbor-joining tree constructed based on K2P+G model for cox1 sequences of B. straminea samples collected from different sites in South China.
