摘要

长期以来,陆生水蛭因其吸血行为而闻名,它们以冒险进入印度太平洋大部分潮湿森林的人类为食。最近,这些水蛭在保护研究中成为检测脊椎动物多样性的工具。具体来说,科学家们利用在这些水蛭消化道中发现的血的DNA来识别它们吃过的哺乳动物、爬行动物、两栖动物和鸟类。尽管这种所谓的无脊椎动物DNA (iDNA)技术越来越受欢迎,但可供研究人员熟悉这些方法的资源很少。使用这些方法的大多数研究人员都有脊椎动物保护的重点,因此可能会从更多地了解水蛭中受益,水蛭是可变的,也可能需要保护。本文就水蛭科水蛭的背景和分类学等方面的研究进行综述。我们希望这些信息能让更多在印度-太平洋地区生活和学习的人与这些吸血蠕虫一起工作。

TERRESTRIAL LEECHES, iDNA SURVEYS, AND BEYOND.

Terrestrial leeches have long been famous for their blood-feeding behavior, feeding on humans who venture into wet forests across much of the Indo-Pacific. More recently these leeches have emerged as a tool for detecting vertebrate diversity in conservation studies. Specifically, scientists use DNA from the bloodmeals found in these leeches' digestive tracts to identify mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds they have fed on. Although this so-called invertebrate-derived DNA (iDNA) technique has grown in popularity, few resources exist for researchers to gain familiarity with these methods. Most researchers using these methods have a vertebrate conservation focus and therefore may benefit from learning more about the leeches, which are variable and also potentially in need of conservation. For this review, we focused on providing basic information on iDNA best practices and precautions, and on Haemadipsidae leech background and taxonomy. We hope this information empowers more people who live and study in the Indo-Pacific to work with these blood-feeding worms.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Parasitology is the official peer-reviewed journal of the American Society of Parasitologists (ASP). The journal publishes original research covering helminths, protozoa, and other parasitic organisms and serves scientific professionals in microbiology, immunology, veterinary science, pathology, and public health. Journal content includes original research articles, brief research notes, announcements of the Society, and book reviews. Articles are subdivided by topic for ease of reference and range from behavior and pathogenesis to systematics and epidemiology. The journal is published continuously online with one full volume printed at the end of each year.
