Environmental determinants of distribution of freshwater snails and trematode infection in the Omo Gibe River Basin, southwest Ethiopia

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2019
Background Determination of infection rates of snail populations is one of the basic tools for epidemiological studies of snail borne diseases. In this study, we opted to determine the trematode infection of freshwater snails in the Omo-Gibe River Basin,

Cercariae of a Bird Schistosome Follow a Similar Emergence Pattern under Different Subarctic Conditions: First Experimental Study

Pathogens, 2022
The emergence of cercariae from infected mollusks is considered one of the most important adaptive strategies for maintaining the trematode life cycle. Short transmission opportunities of cercariae are often compensated by periodic daily rhythms in the ...

Trematode infections in frogs: Do all cercarial morphotypes infect and induce effects on the common hourglass tree frog, Polypedates cruciger?

Ceylon Journal of Science, 2018
Trematode infections are known to induce malformations and increase mortality in amphibians. However, not all the larval trematodes induce effects on the host. Nine types of cercariae (A-I) belonging to five morphotypes (oculopleurolophocercous, distome,

The efficacy of soap against schistosome cercariae: A systematic review [PDF]

, 2022
BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease that is endemic in 78 countries and affects almost 240 million people worldwide. It has been acknowledged that an integrated approach that goes beyond drug treatment is needed to achieve control and ...

Adhesion of Cercaria (Larva of Helminth Parasites) to Host by Lectins- carbohydrates bonds as a Model for Evaluation of Schistosoma Entrance Mechanisms in Cercarial Dermatitis [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2008
Background: Cercariae (larva of helminth parasites) are covered by a thick glycocalyx coat, which serves as an osmotic pro­tection during their free existence, and contain carbohydrates conjugated as glycoproteins, glycolipids and mu­co­polysaccharides ...

First Record of Trichobilharzia physellae (Talbot, 1936) in Europe, a Possible Causative Agent of Cercarial Dermatitis

Pathogens, 2021
Several species of avian schistosomes are known to cause dermatitis in humans worldwide. In Europe, this applies above all to species of the genus Trichobilharzia.

Exploring the dermal immune and angiogenic responses to Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]

, 2011
Schistosoma mansoni is a parasitic helminth which gains access to the host’s vascular system by penetrating and migrating through the skin in search of a blood vessel.

The taxonomic survey of the fauna of cercariae (Platyhelminthes, Trematoda) in the mollusks of Uzbekistan

Zoodiversity, 2020
The article provides a list of trematodes cercariae found in the molluscs of Uzbekistan based on the analysis and generalisation of well-known data published in the period between 1934 and 2019. Currently, the list comprises 50 cercaria species belonging
