  abstract = {{B}ackground: {L}ymnaeidae snails play a prominent role in the transmission of helminths, mainly trematodes of medical and veterinary importance (e.g., {F}asciola liver flukes). {A}s this family exhibits a great diversity in shell morphology but extremely homogeneous anatomical traits, the systematics of {L}ymnaeidae has long been controversial. {U}sing the most complete dataset to date, we examined phylogenetic relationships among 50 taxa of this family using a supermatrix approach (concatenation of the 16 {S}, {ITS}-1 and {ITS}-2 genes, representing 5054 base pairs) involving both {M}aximum {L}ikelihood and {B}ayesian {I}nference. {R}esults: {O}ur phylogenetic analysis demonstrates the existence of three deep clades of {L}ymnaeidae representing the main geographic origin of species ({A}merica, {E}urasia and the {I}ndo-{P}acific region). {T}his phylogeny allowed us to discuss on potential biological invasions and map important characters, such as, the susceptibility to infection by {F}asciola hepatica and {F}. gigantica, and the haploid number of chromosomes (n). {W}e found that intermediate hosts of {F}. gigantica cluster within one deep clade, while intermediate hosts of {F}. hepatica are widely spread across the phylogeny. {I}n addition, chromosome number seems to have evolved from n = 18 to n = 17 and n = 16. {C}onclusion: {O}ur study contributes to deepen our understanding of {L}ymnaeidae phylogeny by both sampling at worldwide scale and combining information from various genes (supermatrix approach). {T}his phylogeny provides insights into the evolutionary relationships among genera and species and demonstrates that the nomenclature of most genera in the {L}ymnaeidae does not reflect evolutionary relationships. {T}his study highlights the importance of performing basic studies in systematics to guide epidemiological control programs.},
