Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 37-51, January 2026.ABSTRACT The status of the six traditionally recognised European Vallonia taxa is considered based on mtDNA and nDNA sequences from five independently sorting loci in combination with morphometric landmark analyses conducted on genetically confirmed shells. These analyses document that only two species are valid (V. costata and V.

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Schistosomiasis remains a major public health concern in Benin. Freshwater snails of the genus Bulinus serve as intermediate hosts for schistosomes, trematode parasites responsible for bilharzia. The urinary form, caused by Schistosoma haematobium, is the most prevalent and is primarily transmitted by Bulinus truncatus and Bulinus globosus, whereas the

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Background The fight against schistosomiasis (urogenital and intestinal) has prolonged more than expected with more areas that were previously known to have less or no incidence of infection now recording alarming incidence rate. Researchers and stakeholders are now concerned about what is probably sustaining the possible infection, and one of

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.Citizen scientists and an expert jointly monitor Biomphalaria snails (the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni) in rural areas of southwest Uganda, generating over 4500 georeferenced records. By comparing expert‐ and citizen‐based distribution models under perfect and imperfect detection, we demonstrate that site type and NDVI consistently ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.We find that higher snail richness correlated with increased overall and generalist trematode infections, while specialist infections showed a similar but nonsignificant trend. The study also highlighted potential host‐switching events and the impact of long‐term sampling on parasite communities, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring of host ...
