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. Density‐dependent birth rates of snails were determined to inform mathematical models, which, until now, have assumed a linear ...

The relationship between genetic variability and the susceptibility of Biomphalaria alexandrina snails to Schistosoma mansoni infection [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2012 In the present study, Biomphalaria snails collected from five Egyptian governorates (Giza, Fayoum, Kafr El-Sheikh, Ismailia and Damietta), as well as reference control Biomphalaria alexandrina snails from the Schistosome Biological Supply Center (SBSC ...

Molluscicidal activity of Bacillus thuringiensis strains against Biomphalaria alexandrina snails
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.

Molluscicidal Activity of Some Solanum Species Extracts against the Snail Biomphalaria alexandrina. [PDF]
J Parasitol Res, 2009 Background. Snails′ species are associated with transmission parasitic disease as intermediate host. Biological control stands to be a better alternative to the chemical controls aimed against snails. The search of herbal preparations that do not produce any adverse effects in the non‐target organisms and are easily biodegradable remains a top research

Factors Affecting Lethality of Bisphenol a on Biomphalaria alexandrina Snails
International Journal of Veterinary Science and Research, 2016 The present study was undertaken to investigate the influence of some environmental factors including temperature, water vegetation, bed mud and pH on LC50, LC90 and LT50 of bisphenol A (BPA) on the snail host of Schistosoma mansoni, Biomphalaria alexandrina.

IMMUNE RESPONSE OF STIMULATED BIOMPHALARIA ALEXANDRINA SNAILS WITH SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI INFECTION [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2017 In this study, both digestive and hermaphrodite glands in Biomphalaria alexandrina snails were examined by light microscope (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in a trial to clarify its immunological role as defense mechanism against the parasite
