Abstract

The deepest recorded depth for trematodes currently stands at approximately 6200 m. This depth record was achieved solely through sequence datasets of Lepidapedon sp. obtained from a gastropod. Given that trematodes of this genus typically use fish as definitive hosts, the origin of the trematode sequence was thought to be larval stages. However, the specific species remained unclear owing to the absence of reported adult-stage sequences. In the present study, we definitively identified the deepest trematode as Lepidapedon oregonense by comparing 28S ribosomal DNA sequences from adult worms from the macrourid fish Coelorinchus gilberti with data from the gastropod in the previous study.

确定 Lepidapedon oregonense 为目前世界上最深的吸虫。

目前记录到的最深的吸虫深度约为 6200 米。鉴于该属的吸虫通常以鱼类为最终宿主，吸虫序列的来源被认为是幼虫阶段。然而，由于缺乏成虫阶段序列的报道，具体物种仍不清楚。在本研究中，我们通过比较大口鱼Coelorinchus gilberti成虫的28S核糖体DNA序列与之前研究中腹足纲动物的数据，最终确定最深的震颤虫为Lepidapedon oregense。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
