Bisphenol A effects on the host Biomphalaria alexandrina and its parasite Schistosoma mansoni

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most potent endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that adversely affect aquatic organisms. The present investigation explored the effects of exposure to BPA at 0.1 and 1 mgL-1 concentrations on the fecundity of Biomphalaria alexandrina, snail's infection with Schistosoma mansoni, and histology of the ovotestis and ...

Biomphalaria alexandrina as a bioindicator of metal toxicity

Chemosphere, 2016
Heavy metals are common environmental pollutants to the aquatic ecosystems. Several aquatic species have been used as bioindicators and biomonitoring subjects for heavy metals pollution. In the present study, the effects of cadmium (Cd) and manganese (Mn) on the survival, attachment, locomotion, and feeding behaviours of the gastropod snail ...

Reprotoxicity of 4-nonylphenol to Biomphalaria alexandrina snails at certain temperatures

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2019
One of the most common compounds in pesticide formulations, plastics, and papers is 4-nonylphenol (4-NP). It is contained in agricultural, industrial, and wastewater effluents, which when discharged into surface waters affect aquatic fauna. Therefore, the present study aimed to use Biomphalaria alexandrina snails to evaluate the chronic toxicity of 4 ...

Biomphalaria alexandrina: a model organism for assessing the endocrine disrupting effect of 17β-estradiol

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2019
A wide range of endocrine disruptor compounds are routinely discharged to the ecosystem. Water contaminated with these compounds has a potential effect on the reproductive physiology of aquatic organisms as well as humans. In the present study, we tested the effect of the steroid estrogen, 17β-estradiol, on Biomphalaria alexandrina, a snail species ...

Characterization of Biomphalaria alexandrina-derived lectins recognizing a fucosyllactose-related determinant on schistosomes

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1995
Two novel lectins that bind selectively to a schistosome-associated fucosyllactose-related determinant have been characterized and purified from the hemolymph of Biomphalaria alexandrina, the snail vector of Schistosoma mansoni. Both lectins were purified by affinity chromatography on a column of equimolar mixture of D- and L-glucose coupled to epoxy ...

The endocrine disruptor effect of the herbicides atrazine and glyphosate on Biomphalaria alexandrina snails

Toxicology and Industrial Health, 2013
Atrazine (AZ) and glyphosate (GL) are herbicides that are widely applied to cereal crops in Egypt. The present study was designed to investigate the response of the snail Biomphalaria alexandrina (Mollusca: Gastropoda) as a bioindicator for endocrine disrupters in terms of steroid levels (testosterone (T) and 17β-estradiol (E)), alteration of ...
