The effect of increasing water temperatures on Schistosoma mansoni transmission and Biomphalaria pfeifferi population dynamics: an agent-based modelling study. [PDF]

, 2014
INTRODUCTION: There is increasing interest in the control and elimination of schistosomiasis. Little is known, however, about the likely effects of increasing water-body temperatures on transmission. METHODS: We have developed an agent-based model of the

Probing Cinnamamides and Benzamides as Anthelmintics: Discovery of Potent Drug‐Like Agents Against Angiostrongylus cantonensis

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 108, Issue 1, July 2026.
Cynnamoyl benzylpiperazine was identified as drug‐like derivative of cinnarizine with anthelmintic activity against A. cantonensis. In this work, 15 out of 31 derivatives showed improved anthelmintic activity with increased solubility. A SAR study was carried out to determine the molecular features involved in such effect.

Estivação de Biomphalaria tenagophila (Pulmonata, Planorbidae) [PDF]

Revista de Saúde Pública, 1989
É relatado o encontro de Biomphalaria tenagophila estivada, em dois municípios do Estado de São Paulo (Brasil): Ubatuba e Conchas. Essa característica etológica foi percebida em 15 exemplares coletados em Ubatuba e 6 em Conchas. Os caramujos estavam enterrados em fendas do solo ressecado,e, em laboratório, voltaram a exibir vitalidade depois de ...

Identification of Biomphalaria sp. and other freshwater snails in the large-scale water transposition project in the Northeast of Brazil

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2018
The wide eco-bio-social intervention generated by the SaoFrancisco River Integration Project (PISF) may contribute to the dispersion or introduction of schistosomiasis intermediate hosts in areas without prior recording. The objective was to characterize

IL‐25 Enhances Eosinophil‐Associated Inflammation in Angiostrongylus cantonensis‐Infected Mice

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the role of interleukin (IL)‐25 in the pathogenesis of angiostrongylosis. We used ICR mice as non‐permissive hosts, divided them into groups and experimentally infected them with infective larvae of the Angiostrongylus cantonensis.

Conkazal‐M1 from the MKAVA family of conotoxins: A dual‐function protease inhibitor and neuroactive peptide

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Marine cone snails produce a diverse array of bioactive peptides, known as conotoxins, in their venom. Given their high target potency and specificity, conotoxins are attractive compounds for the development of precision research tools and pharmacological agents.

Contribution to the histology of Biomphalaria glabrata [PDF]

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1999
A combination of histological techniques applied to the study of Biomphalaria glabrata yielded some interesting new data about the histology of this snail, a major intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni in Brazil. Three kinds of pigments were identified: a dark pigment which bleached following oxidation with potassium permanganate; a lipofuchsin-like,
