A exportación de samesugas para uso médico por parte dos franceses foi tan intensa na década de 1820 en Galicia (especialmente na lagoa de Antela) que no ano 1827 o Goberno estableceu a veda da súa pesca durante os meses de marzo, abril e maio #histodon #leeches #historiaeconomica https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/medical-history/article/spanishfrench-leech-trade-and-its-consequences-from-the-increase-in-medical-demand-to-resource-depletion-and-technical-innovation/36806B69AC6A2B5DBD9E6E9DE0E3E5E9

A lagoa de Antela, espazo destruido polo franquismo, foi un lugar moi relevante no comercio internacional de samesugas para uso médico. Desde este importante humedal desenvolveuse unha grande exportación destes anélidos a Francia durante a primeira metade do século XIX #leeches #histodon #antela #historiaeconomica #historia https://www.cambridge.org/core/blog/2024/12/16/spanish-french-leech-trade-and-its-consequences-from-the-increase-in-medical-demand-to-resource-depletion-and-technical-innovation/

Rare fossil reveals ancient leeches weren't bloodsuckers
https://phys.org/news/2025-10-rare-fossil-reveals-ancient-leeches.html

The first #leech body fossil predates estimated hirudinidan origins by 200 million years: Danielle de Carle et al. https://peerj.com/articles/19962/

"430 million years old, the #fossil includes a large tail sucker—still found in modern #leeches—along with a segmented, teardrop-shaped body. But one important feature isn't found in this fossil: the forward sucker that many of today's leeches use to pierce skin and draw blood"
