Habitat Structure Shapes Mollusc Assemblages in an Urban Semiarid River: Implications for Conservation and Public Health

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Fine‐scale environmental drivers shape freshwater mollusc assemblages in urban semiarid rivers. We examined how substrate composition and water chemistry influence mollusc richness and abundance along a polluted stretch of a river in the Brazilian semiarid region. Surveys at five sites recorded 2479 individuals.

Taxonomic Deception via Obvious Traits: Oversplitting in European Vallonia Risso, 1826 (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Valloniidae)

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.

The effect of simulating different intermediate host snail species on the link between water temperature and schistosomiasis risk. [PDF]

, 2014
INTRODUCTION: A number of studies have attempted to predict the effects of climate change on schistosomiasis risk. The importance of considering different species of intermediate host snails separately has never previously been explored.

Modelling of the distribution of Biomphalaria glabrata and Biomphalaria straminea in the metropolitan region of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil

Geospatial Health, 2016
The occurrence of schistosomiasis is directly linked to the presence of its snail intermediate host <em>Biomphalaria</em> spp. Knowledge of geographical distribution, habitats and behaviour of these snails in relation to the climate is essential for guiding measures for disease prevention and control.

Genetic Diversity and Ecological Distribution of Bulinus Populations in Southern Benin Using PCR‐RFLP Analysis

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

Schistosomal Rectal Polyposis Mimicking Colorectal Cancer: A Case Report of a 60‐mm Polyp in a Young Ethiopian Man Treated at Firoomsis General Hospital

Case Reports in Gastrointestinal Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Schistosomiasis is a major public health problem in endemic regions, affecting over 250 million individuals globally, with Schistosoma mansoni frequently causing intestinal and hepatosplenic disease. Chronic infection may lead to rectal polyposis, which can mimic colorectal malignancy and create diagnostic and therapeutic challenges ...

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
