Biomphalaria glabrata in Haiti

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1985
Biomphalaria glabrata, an intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni, was first reported in Haiti in 1891 at one location in the Départment du Nord and in 1977 it was reported at several sites in one additional watershed. Our study identifies two additional locations each on a different watershed plus a third possible site.

Morphological characterization of hemocytes from Biomphalaria glabrata and Biomphalaria straminea

Micron, 2012
Biomphalaria glabrata and Biomphalaria straminea have been identified as intermediate hosts for Schistosoma mansoni. Several studies have found two cell types in the hemolymph of B. glabrata (hyalinocytes and granulocytes). However, there are no studies describing the hemocytes of B. straminea. With the aim of further describing the hemocyte subsets in

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.

Effects of experimental Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection on the reproductive biology of Biomphalaria straminea and Biomphalaria tenagophila

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2017
Eosinophilic meningoencephalitis is an endemic zoonosis in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, but in recent years, new cases have been reported in various countries outside these regions, including Brazil, where it is considered an emerging disease. In this study, the effect of infection by the nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis, one of the main

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 ...

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 ...

Internal Defenses of the Snail Biomphalaria glabrata

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1999
Injection of foreign particles (zymosan, latex beads, living bacteria) and substances (ferritine, horseradish peroxidase) in Biomphalaria glabrata induces the rapid appearance of tubular double-helical filaments in the hemolymph. This rapid induction may be due to the polymerization of precursor proteins of the hemolymph.
