Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 3153-3238, March 2019., 2019 This manuscript represents a large, single, collective examination of larval trematodes from snail hosts, using molecular markers and phylogenetic methods. We contribute 1,091 mitochondrial sequences (cox1 and nad1) that represent 79 species from 23 genera and eight families.

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 The low stringency‐polymerase chain reaction (LS‐PCR) and loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays were used to detect the presence of S. mansoni DNA in (1) Brazilian intermediate hosts (Biomphalaria glabrata, B. straminea, and B. tenagophila) with patent S. mansoni infections, (2) B. glabrata snails with prepatent S. mansoni infections, (3)

BioMed Research International, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 The identification of snails of the genus Biomphalaria can be done using morphological characteristics which depends on the size of the snails and skill and knowledge of researcher. These methods sometimes are not adequate for identification of species.

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 The cashew nut releases a substance that is known as cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). There are both natural (iCNSL) and technical (tCNSL) cashew nut shell liquids. This study used an Artemia salina bioassay to evaluate the toxic effects of iCNSL and tCNSL cashew nut shell liquids.

Metacercarial Infection of Wild Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from Brazil
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Fingerlings of Oreochromis niloticus collected in an artificial urban lake from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, were evaluated for natural infection with trematodes. Morphological taxonomic identification of four fluke species was performed in O. niloticus examined, and the total prevalence of metacercariae was 60.7% (37/61).

Susceptibility of Argentinean Biomphalaria tenagophila and Biomphalaria straminea to infection by Schistosoma mansoni and the possibility of geographic expansion of mansoni schistosomiasis [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2013 Human migration and the presence of natural vectors (mollusks) of Schistosoma mansoni are the primary causes of the expansion of mansoni schistosomiasis into southern areas of South America. Water conditions are favorable for the expansion of this disease because of the extensive hydrographic network, which includes the basins of the Paraná and Uruguay

Interaction of Schistosoma mansoni Sporocysts and Hemocytes of Biomphalaria
Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Human infection by Schistosoma mansoni affects more than 100 million people worldwide, most often in populations of developing countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The transmission of S. mansoni in human populations depends on the presence of some species of Biomphalaria that act as an intermediate host. The compatibility between S.

Use of Indicator Kriging to Investigate Schistosomiasis in Minas Gerais State, Brazil
Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Geographic Information Systems (GISs) are composed of useful tools to map and to model the spatial distribution of events that have geographic importance as schistosomiasis. This paper is a review of the use the indicator kriging, implemented on the Georeferenced Information Processing System (SPRING) to make inferences about the prevalence of ...
