On the origin of the Biomphalaria glabrata hemocytes [PDF]
A histologic, morphometric and ultrastructural study performed on Biomphalaria glabrata submitted to infection with Schistosoma mansoni miracidia failed to provide significant evidences that the so-called amebocyte-producing organ (APO) is really the central organ for hemocyte production.

Distribution of Biomphalaria Species in Sudan [PDF]
INTESTINAL bilharzia (caused by the trematode Schistosoma mansoni) is transmitted by snails of the genus Biomphalaria. A survey has recently been conducted to determine the distribution of these snails in the Khartoum and Blue Nile provinces of Sudan.

Differences in the gene expression profiles of Haemocytes from Schistosome-susceptible and -resistant Biomphalaria glabrata exposed to Schistosoma mansoni excretory-secretory products [PDF]
During its life cycle, the helminth parasite Schistosoma mansoni uses the freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata as an intermediate host to reproduce asexually generating cercariae for infection of the human definitive host.

Differentiation of the sibling species Biomphalaria occidentalis and Biomphalaria tenagophila by the electrophoretic patterns of their hemoglobin [PDF]
A simple and rapid method for differentialing the sibling species Biomphalaria tenagophila and Biomphalaria occidentalis by agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) is described. Snail hemolymph is used as the test sample and the red colaration of the hemoglobin fraction permits visualization of the migration patterns without resorting to specific stains ...

Hybridism between Biomphalaria cousini and Biomphalaria amazonica and its susceptibility to Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
Molecular techniques can aid in the classification of Biomphalaria species because morphological differentiation between these species is difficult. Previous studies using phylogeny, morphological and molecular taxonomy showed that some populations studied were Biomphalaria cousini instead of Biomphalaria amazonica.

Mortality of B. pfeifferi due to metacercariae autoinfection The first deaths of B. pfeifferi snails from Group 1 were registered 3 weeks PI. This is when the release of cercariae first began. More than half of the snails died a month PI (Fig. 2). The last snail from Group 1 died 38 days PI.
