Abstract: BACKGROUND: infection. Here, we found a new nodule type without any parasites. METHODS: Overall, 447 P. canaliculata snails were collected in Ning Bo, Zhe Jiang, China in 2018. In order to exhibit the similarities and differences between two nodules types (2018, Huzhou Zhejiang, China), both types were collected in formalin for tissue pathological sectioning. Besides, to obtain the microbial community of the new nodule, the 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene of it was amplified and analyzed using the Illumina second-generation sequencing platform. RESULTS: sp., a species of golden algae, might be the causing agent of the new nodule. CONCLUSION: infection require further study.
