DNA Barcode Identification of Freshwater Snails in the Family Bithyniidae from Thailand [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Freshwater snails in the family Bithyniidae are the first intermediate host for Southeast Asian liver fluke (Opisthorchis viverrini), the causative agent of opisthorchiasis. Unfortunately, the subtle morphological characters that differentiate species in

Trematode infection in a freshwater snail Hydrobioides nassa (Gastropoda: Bithyniidae) in Thailand [PDF]

Helminthologia, 2022
1,024 individuals of Hydrobioides nassa were collected from 12 different localities in eight provinces from north, west, and central regions of Thailand. The infection of parasitic trematodes was investigated using shedding and crushing methods to search

Morphological Differentiation Among Three Mitochondrial Lineages of Hydrobioides nassa Theobald, 1865 (Gastropoda: Bithyniidae) from Thailand [PDF]

Biology
The identification of species complexes in freshwater snails remains challenging due to limited diagnostic morphological characters and incomplete taxonomic knowledge in many taxa. Within the family Bithyniidae, species have traditionally been classified

Mitogenomic phylogeny of Truncatelloidea with description of Aenigmula sinensis Tang, Han & Kong, sp. nov. (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Littorinimorpha, Truncatelloidea) [PDF]

ZooKeys
Truncatelloidea is the richest and most diverse group within Mollusca. Both morphological and molecular studies have sought to resolve its phylogenetic framework; however, the phylogenetic relationships among some lineages remain controversial.

Intermediate insights: tracing trematodes infecting amphibians via their first intermediate snail hosts [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Amphibians are a prime example of the global biodiversity crisis, as they represent the most threatened group of vertebrates. Yet, amphibian macroparasites remain one of the most poorly described groups of parasites, with the majority of ...

Bithyniid snails (Gastropoda: Bithyniidae) infected with Xiphidiocercariae in Thailand include a new record of Bithynia siamensis siamensis as the intermediate host of Plagiorchis and Paralecithodendrium. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Bithyniids are freshwater snails that play a crucial role in the transmission of various parasitic trematodes of medical and veterinary importance. In this study, we explored the prevalence of cercarial trematode infections in bithyniid snails from ...

Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and beyond

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 10, Page 3408-3424, October 2023., 2023
The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a parasite of slugs and snails and has been formulated into a biological control agent for use across northern Europe since 1994. Here, we review all research on P. hermaphrodita that has been carried out over the last 30 years and suggest future priorities.
