Resistance of Biomphalaria alexandrina to Schistosoma mansoni and Bulinus truncatus to Schistosoma haematobium Correlates with Unsaturated Fatty Acid Levels in the Snail Soft Tissue [PDF]
Journal of Parasitology Research, 2020 Only a fraction of the Biomphalaria and Bulinus snail community shows patent infection with schistosomes despite continuous exposure to the parasite, indicating that a substantial proportion of snails may resist infection.

Molluscicidal activity of Bacillus thuringiensis strains against Biomphalaria alexandrina snails [PDF]
Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2017 Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease transmitted to man and different warm blooded animals by means of snails. Great effort has been made to control the transmission of the disease by many strategies.

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

Effects of Snail Density on Growth, Reproduction and Survival of Biomphalaria alexandrina Exposed to Schistosoma mansoni. [PDF]
J Parasitol Res, 2010 The effects of snail density on Biomphalaria alexandrina parasitized with Schistosoma mansoni were investigated. Laboratory experiments were used to quantify the impact of high density on snail growth, fecundity, and survival.

Defense response of susceptible and resistant Biomphalaria alexandrina snails against Schistosoma mansoni infection [PDF]
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012 In Egypt, Biomphalaria alexandrina is the intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni. The fates of Schistosoma miracidia in the snails varies between different species of Biomphalaria.
