The adult stage ofExplanatum explanatumhas economic importance in the production of ruminants, especially water buffaloes. This species has been widely reported in the Indian sub-continent. Recently, molecular analyses to reveal the dispersal route of this species were performed in Bangladesh, Nepal, and India. In the present study, we focused onE. explanatumdistributed in Sri Lanka.A total of 52 flukes were collected from water buffaloes in Sri Lanka and identified asE. explanatumbased on the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA. Analysis of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (nad1) gene from DNA samples detected 18 haplotypes, and five of them were identical to those from the IndianE. explanatum. The pairwise fixation index value indicated that the Sri Lankan population had a comparatively closer relationship with the Indian population than with the Bangladeshi or Nepalese populations. The Sri Lankan population showed significantly lower genetic variability than the Indian population, suggesting that the Indian population was the ancestor of the Sri Lankan population. The movement of host ruminants, including water buffaloes, was probably involved in the introduction of the fluke into Sri Lanka. The results of our study provide useful information for elucidating the geographic origin ofE. explanatumdistributed in the Indian subcontinent.
