Catadiscus pomaceae sp. n. (Trematoda, Paramphistomatidae) from Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1801) (Prosobranchia, Ampullariidae) [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992 Catadiscus pomaceae sp. n. from the intestine of the prosobranch mollusc Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1801), is described. The host snail was collected from a lenitic biotope belonging to the Riachuelo basin (Corrientes province, Argentina) during 1985-

Complete mitochondrial genome of the apple snail Pomacea diffusa (Gastropoda, Ampullariidae) with phylogenetic consideration [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017 We present the complete mitochondrial genome of Pomacea diffusa in this study. The results show that the mitochondrial genome is 16,640 bp in length, which is comprised of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, and 21 tRNA genes.

Description of two new species of apple snail (Ampullariidae: Pomacea) from Peruvian Amazonia
Zootaxa, 2023 Two new species of apple snails are described, Pomacea penai sp. nov. and Pomacea reevei sp. nov. that are used as food resources in Peruvian Amazonia. We used anatomical and conchological features to diagnose these two species. Pomacea penai sp. nov.

Morphological grounds for the obligate aerial respiration of an aquatic snail: functional and evolutionary perspectives [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The freshwater caenogastropod family Ampullariidae is emerging as a model for a variety of studies, among them, the evolution of terrestriality. A common character of the family is that all its members bear a lung while retaining the ancestral gill. This

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 11, Page 4343-4356, November 2023., 2023 Rice production in Mwea irrigation scheme, Kenya is being threatened by the invasive freshwater snail, Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck) (Ampullariidae). The cost of hired labor for physical removal of egg masses and adult snails is resulting in substantial negative effects on net income. Strategies to manage snail spread are urgently needed.

Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and beyond
Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 10, Page 3408-3424, October 2023., 2023 The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a parasite of slugs and snails and has been formulated into a biological control agent for use across northern Europe since 1994. Here, we review all research on P. hermaphrodita that has been carried out over the last 30 years and suggest future priorities.

Functional and evolutionary perspectives on gill structures of an obligate air-breathing, aquatic snail [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Ampullariids are freshwater gastropods bearing a gill and a lung, thus showing different degrees of amphibiousness. In particular, Pomacea canaliculata (Caenogastropoda, Ampullariidae) is an obligate air-breather that relies mainly or solely on the lung ...

Target‐capture probes for phylogenomics of the Caenogastropoda
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1372-1388, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Target‐capture approaches have facilitated a rapid growth in the field of phylogenomics but few probe sets exist for molluscs, an exceptionally rich phylum with unparalleled ecological and morphological diversity. We designed and tested the first universal probe set using Phyluce to capture ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and exon loci from the
