Assessment of the socio‐economic impacts associated with the arrival of apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) in Mwea irrigation scheme, Kenya

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.

Untangling the web: dynamics of Australia's online terrestrial invertebrate trade

Austral Entomology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 372-387, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The trade and keeping of exotic pets has serious implications for both biosecurity and biodiversity conservation. In Australia, the online trade of live invertebrates is an understudied and unregulated issue, with almost non‐existent monitoring. It is uncertain what species are being traded, whether they are being identified correctly, and how

Angiostrongylus cantonensis Nematode Invasion Pathway, Mallorca, Spain

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
Neural angiostrongyliasis is an emerging zoonosis caused by the rat lungworm, Angiostrongylus cantonensis. In humans, infection with this nematode often results in eosinophilic meningitis and other severe disorders of the central nervous system.

Large shifts of niche and range in the golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata), an aquatic invasive species

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Niche and range shifts of invasive species are essential in assessing the risk of biological invasions and developing ecological niches and species distribution theories. Studies on invasive aquatic species' niche and range shifts have important implications for conserving aquatic invasive ecosystems.

Chi3l3: a potential key orchestrator of eosinophil recruitment in meningitis induced by Angiostrongylus cantonensis

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2018
Background Angiostrongylus cantonensis, an important foodborne parasite, can induce serious eosinophilic meningitis in non-permissive hosts, such as mouse and human. However, the characteristics and mechanisms of the infection are still poorly understood.

Neglected symbionts and other metazoan invertebrates associated with molluscs from Africa's largest lake: Diversity, biotic interactions and bioindication

Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2089-2099, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Freshwater molluscs are hosts for diverse metazoan symbionts. However, apart from the digenean helminths, symbionts of molluscs are underreported worldwide. Therefore, this study focused on the diversity of oligochaetes, leeches, mites, insect larvae and nematodes associated with gastropods and bivalves from Lake Victoria, East Africa. Overall,
