Genetics of land snail Xerolenta obvia and related species

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Land snail Xerolenta (Syn., Helicella) obvia [MENKE, 1828] (Eng., heath snail; Hung., lapos kórócsiga) (1.5-2.0 cm) was analyzed here by in silico data mining at the DNA sequence site of 18S ribosomal RNA gene (1801 bp; GenBank# GU331943.1) to find the most related snail species. Sequence and dendrogram analysis revealed that the pest land snail Acusta despecta sieboldiana [SOWERBY, 1839; PFEIFFER, 1850] shows the closest genetic distance to X. obvia. The ecological and medicinal impacts of sea and land snail mollusks are indicated.
