Prediction of the potential global distribution for Biomphalaria straminea, an intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2018
Schistosomiasis is a snail-borne parasitic disease and is endemic in many tropical and subtropical countries. Biomphalaria straminea, an intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni, is native to the southeastern part of South America and has established in other regions of South America, Central America and southern China during the last decades.

Prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium in Snail Intermediate Hosts in Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Background. Schistosomiasis is caused by Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium in Africa. These schistosome parasites use freshwater snail intermediate hosts to complete their lifecycle. Varied prevalence rates of these parasites in the snail intermediate hosts were reported from several African countries, but there were no summarized data for ...

Resistance of Biomphalaria alexandrina to Schistosoma mansoni and Bulinus truncatus to Schistosoma haematobium Correlates with Unsaturated Fatty Acid Levels in the Snail Soft Tissue

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 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. Accordingly, exterminating the schistosome intermediate snail hosts in transmission foci in habitats that may extend to kilometres ...

Competitive interactions between species of fresh-water snails: I. Laboratory. IC. Comparative survival of Biomphalaria glabrata and B. Straminea kept out of water

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1985
Biomphalaria glabrata and B. straminea were submitted to an out-door laboratory experiment for testing their comparative ability to resist desiccation. Results have shown that B. straminea is significantly higher resistant than B. glabrata.

Study on the Density, Hydrostatic Setting Velocity and Locomotion of Biomphalaria Straminea [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract [Background]Schistosomiasis mansoni is one of the most prevalent neglected tropical diseases transmitted by snails of the genus Biomphalaria . The pla norbid freshwater snail Biomphalaria straminea as an invasive vector is expanding its geographic range for its great dispersal capacity in Gonuangdong Province, causing potential risk of
