Effects of Ingestion of Lithic Particles on Growth of the Apple Snail Pomacea canaliculata (Caenogastropoda, Ampullariidae) [PDF]
, 2016 Lithic particles are a common feature in the digestive tract of freshwater snails. Their role in the digestive processes has been demonstrated in some microphytophagous and detritivorous species, as they enhance growth, assimilation and reproduction.

Estratégia competitiva entre Biomphalaria glabrata e Biomphalaria tenagophila: estudos de laboratório [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1989 Observation about conhabitation among B. glabrata and B. tenagophila revealed a greater vulnerability of B. tenagophila population during the process of competition when its density was severaly decreased in 12 trials, moderate in 2 trials. It was higher than B. glabrata in only one trial.

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1995 A comparative study of the development of Schistosoma mansoni during the intra-molluscan phase was made by means of histological sections of Biomphalaria tenagophila, B. straminea and B. glabrata from Brazil. Two hundred snails of each species were individually exposed to 50 miracidia of the S. mansoni, AL line.

Biomphalaria glabrata no Estado do Piauí Biomphalaria glabrata in the State of Piaui
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1984 É registrado o primeiro encontro do molusco planorbideo Biomphalaria glabrata, hospedeiro intermediário do Schistosoma mansoni, no Estado do Piauí, coletado em vários criadouros na cidade de Parnaíba. O exame de 694 exemplares revelou a presença de formas evolutivas de algumas espécies de trematodeos, mas não de Schistosomatidea.

Competitive displacement of Biomphalaria glabrata by B. straminea [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1987 Data on the interaction between populations of closely related species of Biomphalaria, B. glabrata and B. straminea, are presented in the current paper. Laboratory and field observations and experiments have shown that B. straminea has competitive advantages over B. glabrata.
