ParthenogeneticFasciolais the causative agent of fascioliasis in animals and humans and is widely distributed in Asian countries, such as Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, and India. ParthenogeneticFasciolageographically originated from central and eastern China, where it exists between the habitats ofFasciola hepaticaandFasciola gigantica; it likely appeared thousands of years ago following hybridization betweenF. hepaticaandF. gigantica. ParthenogeneticFasciolaconsists of diploids and triploids that possess nuclear genome of bothF. hepaticaandF. giganticaand mitochondrial genome of eitherF. hepaticaorF. gigantica. Maternal parents of parthenogeneticFasciolaare eitherF. hepaticahaving Fh-C4 haplotype orF. giganticahaving Fg-C2 haplotype in mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (ND1) nucleotide sequences. ParthenogeneticFasciolaflukes with the Fh-C4 haplotype have spread from China to South Korea and Japan, whereas the flukes with the Fg-C2 haplotype have not only spread to Korea and Japan but also southward to Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, and India. ParthenogeneticFasciolacan be distinguished fromF. hepaticaandF. giganticausing combinational DNA sequence analysis of nuclear phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (pepck) and DNA polymerase delta (pold) along with mitochondrial ND1 markers. The establishment of parthenogeneticFasciolais expected as follows: parthenogenetic diploids with the Fh-C4 and Fg-C2 haplotypes first appeared based on single or multiple interspecific hybridization events; subsequently, parthenogenetic triploids emerged via backcross events between the maternal parthenogenetic diploid and either paternal bisexualF. hepaticaorF. gigantica.ParthenogeneticFascioladiploids and triploids then survived for thousands of years by clonal parthenogenetic reproduction, and generated descendants with ND1 haplotypes, which were derived from the Fh-C4 and Fg-C2 due to nucleotide substitution. Thus, the emergence of parthenogeneticFasciolamay be due to extremely uncommon and accidental events. ParthenogeneticFasciolashould be treated as a new asexual hybrid species.
