The transposon piggyBac from the genome of the cabbage looper moth Trichoplusia ni has been observed in the laboratory to jump into the genomes of key model and pathogenic eukaryote organisms including mosquitoes, planarians, human and other mammalian cells, and the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.

Whereas evidence suggests the presence of a large number of families of retrotransposable elements within the chromosomes of the human blood flukes (20, 25), this is the first description of a full-length LTR-retrotransposon from the genome of the African and neotropical human blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni.
