BLAST (http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) analysis output of environmental trematode cercaria DNA sequences from South India. A) Internal transcribed spacer 2 DNA sequence shows maximum identity with Procerovum species and resembles GenBank reported sequence EU826639.1 from Vietnam. B) 28S rDNA sequence shows maximum identity with Procerovum varium and resembles GenBank reported sequence HM004184.1 from Thailand.
