This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of trematode parasitic strategies using mitogenomic and nuclear genomic data, finding that ancestral trematodes had direct life cycles with no intermediate hosts.

This study presents the first complete mitochondrial genome of the ectosymbiont Craspedella pedum, confirms the paraphyly of the Neoophora clade, and finds accelerated mitochondrial evolution in symbiotic turbellarians.
