The complete mitochondrial genome of invasive species Biomphalaria straminea (Planorbidae: Biomphalaria) and phylogenetic analysis [PDF]
Biomphalaria straminea is an invasive species in China and is one of the intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni which results in the spread of schistosomiasis. Herein, we firstly report the complete mitochondrial genome of B. straminea.

Metagenomic Analysis Reveals Variations in Gut Microbiomes of the Schistosoma mansoni-Transmitting Snails Biomphalaria straminea and Biomphalaria glabrata. [PDF]
Biomphalaria snails play a crucial role in the transmission of the human blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni. The gut microbiota of intermediate hosts is known to influence their physiological functions, but little is known about its composition and role in ...

Genome of the ramshorn snail Biomphalaria straminea-an obligate intermediate host of schistosomiasis. [PDF]
Background: Schistosomiasis, or bilharzia, is a parasitic disease caused by trematode flatworms of the genus Schistosoma. Infection by Schistosoma mansoni in humans results when cercariae emerge into water from freshwater snails in the genus Biomphalaria and seek out and penetrate human skin.
