A new guest to the blood feast: a novel symbiotic lineage associated with a haematophagous leech from the genus Haementeria

Víctor Manuel Sosa-Jiménez, Sebastian Kvist, Alejandro Manzano-Marı́n, Alejandro Francisco Oceguera-Figueroa

The paper identifies a novel bacterial endosymbiont in Haementeria leeches, showing genome reduction and B vitamin biosynthesis, and reports the first case of symbiont replacement in leeches without morphological changes.

Evolution of an alternative genetic code in the Providencia symbiont of the haematophagous leech Haementeria acuecueyetzin

Alejandro Manzano-Marı́n, Sebastian Kvist, Alejandro Francisco Oceguera-Figueroa

The paper sequenced three Haementeria leech symbiont genomes, finding conserved B vitamin pathways and an alternative genetic code in one species.

The potential of aquatic haematophagous, liquidosomatophagous and macrophagous leeches as a tool for iDNA characterisation

Christina Lynggaard, Alejandro Francisco Oceguera-Figueroa, Sebastian Kvist…·Kristine Bohmann

This study uses DNA metabarcoding to analyze the diet of non-haemadipsid leeches and assess their potential for vertebrate and invertebrate monitoring through iDNA.
