Biosystematics of Biomphalaria spp. with an Emphasis on Biomphalaria glabrata

2010
We review the characters and approaches that have been used to build the systematics of the genus Biomphalaria with special emphasis on Biomphalaria glabrata. Shell characters can be used to distinguish groups of species, but are of limited use for separating closely allied species because of wide ecophenotypic variation.

Manganese superoxide dismutase from Biomphalaria glabrata

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2005
The investigation of the response of Biomphalaria glabrata snails to Echinostoma paraensei (digenea) at 2 days post-exposure by suppression subtractive hybridization yielded a partial sequence of the anti-oxidant enzyme manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Full-length MnSOD (669nt) from M line and BS-90 strains of B.

Notocotylus biomphalariae n. sp. (Digenea: Notocotylidae)from Biomphalaria peregrina (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) in Patagonia, Argentina

Systematic Parasitology, 2005
A new species of Notocotylus was found parasiting a freshwater pulmonate snail, Biomphalaria peregrina. Naturally infected snails were collected from two temporary ponds in the Nahuel Huapí National Park in Patagonia. The characteristics of the larval stages are presented. Experimental adults were recovered from the intestinal caeca of ducks and chicks.

Biomphalaria species in Alexandria water channels

Parasitology International, 2011
Of the several species of Biomphalaria snails worldwide that serve as the intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni, Biomphalaria alexandrina is a species that is indigenous to Egypt. Recently, there has been much debate concerning the presence of Biomphalaria glabrata and the hybrid of the species with Biomphalaria alexandrina. Due to this debate, the

The snail (Biomphalaria glabrata) genome project

Trends in Parasitology, 2006
In 2001, ideas for a snail genome project were discussed at the American Society of Parasitologists meeting (New Mexico) and a snail genome consortium was subsequently established (the first consortium meeting was held in 2005). A proposal for sequencing the snail genome was submitted to the National Human Genome Research Institute, and Biomphalaria ...

Genetics of Pigmentation in Biomphalaria Straminea

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1975
A monogenetic factor determining basic pigmentation in Biomphalaria straminea follows simple. Mendelian inheritance and has at least three alleles, as in B. glabrata. Wild type pigmentation with black body, mantle collar and eyes is dominant; albino with no black pigment is recessive; and "blackeye" pigmentation, deficient in black pigment in body and ...

Immunobiology of Biomphalaria–Trematode Interactions

2010
As the exclusive intermediate host of the human blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni, species of the snail Biomphalaria, especially Biomphalaria glabrata, have been the subjects of numerous studies focused on the immunobiology of parasite–host interactions. With the recent applications of molecular, genomic, proteomic and glycomic approaches to the study of
