Asian schistosomes appear to fall into several phylogenetic groups. One of these includes Schistosoma japonicum, S.mekongi, and S.malaynsis which appear closely related to one another. The placement of S.sinensium is still debaded. It seems to possess some characteristics intermediate between S.japonicum and S.mansoni (Greer et al., 1989). S.spindale seems closest to Afrian species (Barker & Blair, 1996), and perhaps most similar to S.bovis. Very different snail hosts are used by the different parasites, Oncomelania (S.japonicum), Neotricula (S.mekongi), Robertsiella (S.malaynsis), Tricula (S.sinensium), Indoplanorbis (S.spindale), and Lymnea (S.incognitum). Schistosoma host specificities are extremely high. The present study was done to examine evolutionay relationships among some of Asian and African species of Schistosoma using mitochondrial (COI) and nuclear (ITS 2) DNA.It was found that S.mekongi and S.malaynsis were sisters to S.japonicum, based on DNA sequences. Our data also indicate that the S.sinensium ITS2 region contains two deletions, each shared with S.japonicum and S.mansoni. S.sinensium was placed at the base of the S.japonicum group. This fact strongly suggests that S.sinencium could be an ancestal species of S.japonicum. Recently, we were able to obtain S.incognitum from Jakarta, Indonesia, and to amplify the COI and ITS2 region. Basedn the computor analysis using Neighbor joining and UPGMA method, it was found that this blood fluke differs in many base pair sites from the other Asian blood flukes, and belongs to African blood flukes like S.mansoni or S.haematobium. This suggests that this parasite is of African origin and has migrated to Asia very recently (within last 100 thousands years).

亚洲血吸虫似乎属于几个系统发育类群。其中之一包括日本血吸虫、美空血吸虫和马来血吸虫病，它们似乎彼此密切相关。中华链球菌的位置仍然被揭穿。它似乎具有介于日本血吸虫和曼氏血吸虫之间的一些特征(Greer等人，1989)。S.spindale似乎最接近非洲物种(Barker&Blair，1996)，可能与S.bovis最相似。不同的寄生虫使用非常不同的钉螺宿主，即钉螺(S.Japan onicum)、新三圆线虫(S.mekongi)、罗伯茨氏菌(S.maraynsis)、钉螺(S.sinenimum)、钉螺(S.spindale)和隐翅虫(Lymnea)。血吸虫宿主的特异性极高。用线粒体(COI)和核(ITS 2)DNA分析了亚洲和非洲血吸虫部分种间的进化关系。根据DNA序列分析发现，美空血吸虫和马来血吸虫是日本血吸虫的姐妹种。我们的数据还表明，中华血吸虫ITS2区包含两个缺失，每个缺失都与日本血吸虫和曼氏血吸虫相同。中华血吸虫放在日本血吸虫群的底部。这一事实有力地表明，中华血吸虫可能是日本血吸虫的祖先种。最近，我们从印度尼西亚雅加达获得了隐匿链霉菌，并扩增了COI和ITS2区。根据邻接法和UPGMA法的计算机分析发现，该血吸虫与其他亚洲血吸虫在许多碱基对位置上存在差异，属于曼氏血吸虫或血吸虫等非洲血吸虫。这表明这种寄生虫起源于非洲，最近(在过去10万年内)迁徙到了亚洲。
