Cercariae (Digenea: Strigeidae, Diplostomidae) in Biomphalaria straminea (Planorbidae) from a rice field in Northeastern Argentina [PDF]
, 2017 The rice fields can provide habitats for many species of aquatic invertebrates, as insects, molluscs, crustaceans; and vertebrates, as fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds, which may act as hosts in the life cycles of digenean parasites. In this context,

Estratégia competitiva entre Biomphalaria glabrata e Biomphalaria tenagophila: estudos de laboratório [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1989 Observation about conhabitation among B. glabrata and B. tenagophila revealed a greater vulnerability of B. tenagophila population during the process of competition when its density was severaly decreased in 12 trials, moderate in 2 trials. It was higher than B. glabrata in only one trial.

Isolation and characterization of the full-length cDNA encoding a member of a novel cytochrome p450 family (CYP320A1) from the tropical freshwater snail, Biomphalaria glabrata, intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
, 2005 Cytochrome p450s (cyp450s) are a family of structurally related proteins, with diverse functions, including steroid synthesis and breakdown of toxins. This paper reports the full-length sequence of a novel cyp450 gene, the first to be isolated from the ...

Hybridism between Biomphalaria cousini and Biomphalaria amazonica and its susceptibility to Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011 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.

Microhabitat preferences of Biomphalaria pfeifferi and Lymnaea natalensis in a natural and a man-made habitat in southeastern Tanzania. [PDF]
, 2000 Schistosoma mansoni is an important human parasitic disease which is widespread throughout Africa. As Biomphalaria pfeifferi snails act as intermediate host, knowledge of their population ecology is an essential prerequisite towards understanding disease

Determinação do crescimento populacional de Biomphalaria glabrata e Biomphalaria tenagophila (Mollusca, Planorbidae) [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1971 Durante um período de 6 meses os autores estudaram, comparativamente, o crescimento populacional das espécies B. glabrata e B. tenagophila. Houve um desenvolvimento inicial, significativamente maior, de população de B. glabrata. Após terem alcançado um nível crítico de saturação, o número de exemplares das populações decresceu, sendo que, após um breve

Uptake of macromolecules by cercariae during skin penetration and transformation to schistosomula (Schistosoma mansoni) [PDF]
, 2010 Here, we observed the uptake of membrane-impermeant molecules by cercariae as they penetrate the skin and are transformed into schistosomula. We propose that membrane-impermeant molecules, Lucifer Yellow, Propidium iodide and Hoechst 33258 enter the ...
