Fig. 1 Dock-Sil Mountain (▴, altitude 639 m) in Gageo-do (Island) (125°7"E, 34°4"N), Korea. Gageo-do is at Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Province) and Korea's south-westernmost Island. Dock-Sil Mountain is the highest peak in Shinan-gun. (A) The geographical map of Asia. (B) The location of Mokpo (•), Heuksan-do (⋆), and Gageo-do, Korea. Gageo-do is 136 km distant from Mokpo and 70 km from Heuksan-do. (C) A map showing the topography of the Gageo-do and Dock-sil Mountain (▴).
Fig. 2 Terrestrial leeches collected from Gageo-do, Korea. (A) 10 min after feeding blood on a human leg. (B) 30 min after feeding on a human leg. (C, D) 70% alcohol-fixed terrestrial leeches after feeding.
Fig. 3 Results of PCR amplification of COI and 18S rRNA genes from the Gageo-do land leech. (A) COI gene PCR amplicons (710 bp). (B) 18S rRNA gene amplicons (1.2 kb). Out of the total 1.8 kb 18S rRNA, PCR amplifications were conducted in 2 independent parts which are overlapped each other with approximately 1.2 kb in length; M, Elpis 100 bp marker; 1, 2, 3, and 4; Gageo land leeches sample.
Fig. 4 A phylogenetic tree illustrating the genetic relationship of Haemadipsoid leeches using the neighbor-joining method implemented in Clustal X algorithm with Mega 4.0. 18S rRNA gene sequences of Haemadipsa rjukjuana obtained from Mt. Dock-Sil in Gageo-do, Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, Korea compared to previous reference sequences. Bold letters are sequences identified in this study.
Fig. 5 Phylogenetic tree for COI gene showing the taxonomic status of haemadipsoid leeches using the neighbor-joining method implemented. COI gene sequences of Haemadipsa rjukjuana obtained from Mt. Dock-Sil in Gageo-do, Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, Korea. Bold letters are sequences identified in this study. H. rjukjuana Gageo 1 indicates COI type A and H. rjukjuana Gageo 27 indicates COI type B.
