Significant Progress in the Study of African Freshwater Snails Over the Past 260 Years

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
Globally, freshwater ecosystems are threatened, and studies estimate rapid degradation compared with terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Like most other tropical regions, Africa still has far to go regarding discovery and documentation. Using a systematic review process, we evaluated freshwater African snail studies.

When One Global Invasion Hides Another—Cryptic Interspecific Invasion in Freshwater Gastropods

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Cryptic invasions are an understudied phenomenon among species invasions, especially in freshwater invertebrates. We study the gastropod family Physidae, including the global invaders Physella acuta and several enigmatic Stenophysa species, their phylogenetic relationships and the presence of native species among African Physidae. We infer

The Effect of Physicochemical Properties of Water Bodies on Schistosomiasis Intermediate Host Snails’ Distribution in Sub‐Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review

Advances in Public Health, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Schistosomiasis, a disease affecting 800 million people in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), is transmitted through direct contact with infected snail intermediate hosts, in freshwater water bodies. Environmental, climatic and physicochemical properties of the water bodies can interfere with parasite development, reproduction, snail growth and ...

Schistosomiasis Interventions in Africa: Assessment and Systematic Review

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease with high endemicity across Africa. As a waterborne parasitic disease, the population at highest risk includes school‐age children, although adults are also affected. The rationale for this review is to assess the effectiveness of the various schistosomiasis control interventions implemented ...
