Estivação de Biomphalaria tenagophila (Pulmonata, Planorbidae) [PDF]
É relatado o encontro de Biomphalaria tenagophila estivada, em dois municípios do Estado de São Paulo (Brasil): Ubatuba e Conchas. Essa característica etológica foi percebida em 15 exemplares coletados em Ubatuba e 6 em Conchas. Os caramujos estavam enterrados em fendas do solo ressecado,e, em laboratório, voltaram a exibir vitalidade depois de ...

Criação em larga escala de Biomphalaria tenagophila [PDF]
An efficient method for breeding Biomphalaria tenagophila (Taim lineage/RS) was developed over a 5-year-period (2005-2010). Special facilities were provided which consisted of four cement tanks (9.4 x 0.6 x 0.22 m), with their bottom covered with a layer

Morphological characterization of the hemocytes of the pulmonate snail Biomphalaria tenagophila [PDF]
The blood cells of the pulmonate snail Biomphalaria tenagophila, an important transmitter of the trematode Schistosoma mansoni in Brazil, were examined by light and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Two hemocyte types were identified: hyalinocytes and granulocytes. Hyalinocytes are small young (immature), poorly spreading cells, which have a high

Specific Identification of Biomphalaria tenagophila and Biomphalaria occidentalis Populations by the Low Stringency Polymerase Chain Reaction [PDF]
Although Biomphalaria occidentalis and B. tenagophila are indistinguishable on the basis of shell morphology and the majority of their genital organs, only the latter is susceptible to infection with Schistosoma mansoni. Thus, the identification of these species is fundamental to epidemiological studies of schistosomiasis. Here we describe a simple and

Establishment of Biomphalaria tenagophila snails in Europe. [PDF]
To the Editor: Schistosomiasis, known since ancient times, is caused by blood flukes (Trematoda: Schistosomidae). It is a major communicable disease with public health and socioeconomic effects in the developing world (1). Among parasitic diseases, schistosomiasis ranks second only to malaria with regard to the number of persons infected and at risk ...
