MOLLUSCICIDAL SAPONINS FROM ATRIPLEX LEUCOCLADA
Silica gel column chromatography of the butanolic extract of the aeria! parts of Atriplex leucoclada (Family chenopodiaceae) afforded five triterpenoidal saponins. Their structures have been established using spectroscopic methods and hydrolysis followed

Significant Progress in the Study of African Freshwater Snails Over the Past 260 Years
Globally, freshwater ecosystems are threatened, and studies estimate rapid degradation compared with terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Like most other tropical regions, Africa still has far to go regarding discovery and documentation. Using a systematic review process, we evaluated freshwater African snail studies.

Seasonal patterns of Schistosoma mansoni infection within Biomphalaria snails at the Ugandan shorelines of Lake Albert and Lake Victoria [PDF]
Intestinal schistosomiasis is hyperendemic in many sub-Saharan African countries. In Uganda, it is endemic at both Lake Albert (LA) and Lake Victoria (LV) and caused by S. mansoni that uses Biomphalaria snails as obligatory intermediate snail hosts.

Differences in the gene expression profiles of Haemocytes from Schistosome-susceptible and -resistant Biomphalaria glabrata exposed to Schistosoma mansoni excretory-secretory products [PDF]
During its life cycle, the helminth parasite Schistosoma mansoni uses the freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata as an intermediate host to reproduce asexually generating cercariae for infection of the human definitive host.
