Mollusques vecteurs de Trématodoses humaines et animales en Ethiopie

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1974
Des observations faites en Ethiopie au début de l'année 1973 ont permis de mettre en évidence, sur les bords des lacs de la vallée du Rift, des populations de Bulins (Bulinus s.s.) de type diploïde appartenant au groupe Truncatus tetraploïde, capables d ...

Bulinus specimens. [PDF]

, 2023
The planorbid gastropod genus Bulinus consists of 38 species that vary in their ability to vector Schistosoma haematobium (the causative agent of human urogenital schistosomiasis), other Schistosoma species, and non-schistosome trematodes.

Molluscicidal Activity of Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) and Camellia sinensis var. Assamica (Purple Tea) Extracts Against Biomphalaria pfeifferi, the Major Vector Snail of Human Schistosomiasis in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Freshwater pulmonate snails are prevalent across Kenya and act as intermediate hosts for trematode parasites, some of which are snail vectors for human schistosomiasis. Chemical molluscicides have rarely been used routinely in Kenya to control snails due to high costs of manufacture and the subsequent environmental concerns associated with their use ...

Strong genetic structure in Cameroonian populations of Bulinus truncatus (Gastropoda : Planorbidae), intermediate host of Schistosoma haematobium [PDF]

, 2011
In order to evaluate the snail host contribution on the variability of mollusk/schistosome compatibility, the genetic structure of seven Cameroonian populations of the schistosome vector, Bulinus truncatus, was studied using four variable microsatellite ...

Significant Progress in the Study of African Freshwater Snails Over the Past 260 Years

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
Globally, freshwater ecosystems are threatened, and studies estimate rapid degradation compared with terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Like most other tropical regions, Africa still has far to go regarding discovery and documentation. Using a systematic review process, we evaluated freshwater African snail studies.

First evidence of a genetic basis for thermal adaptation in a schistosome host snail

Ecological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Freshwater snails play a key role in the transmission of schistosomiasis, a tropical parasitic disease affecting over 150 million people. Adaptation of these snails to local climatic conditions is a critical factor in determining how climate change and other environmental factors influence disease transmission dynamics, yet this potential ...

, 2022
International audienceUrogenital schistosomiasis has been present naturally in the South of Europe since the beginning of the 20 th century and nowadays its presence is also known, at least imported by Sub-Saharan emigrants and tourists, in France, Italy,
