THE DEVASTING EFFECTS OF PRAZIQUANTEL AND ALBENDAZOLE, ON CERCARIAE OFTHEDIGENEANPHANEROPSOLUS PRAOMIDIS (BAER, 1971) [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology
Phaneropsolidae is one of the digenean intestinal parasites of reptiles, birds, and mammals. To cease its life cycle, some cercariacidal drugs were used, such as praziquantel and albendazole. The intermediate host, a freshwater snail, Lanistes carinatus,

The effectiveness of water treatment processes against schistosome cercariae [PDF]

, 2021
Schistosomiasis is a water-based tropical disease that affects millions of people in marginalised communities. It is acquired through contact with freshwater that contains cercariae, the parasite larvae that lead to schistosomiasis. Whilst treatment with

Effects of Land-Use and Environmental Factors on Snail Distribution and Trematode Infection in Ethiopia

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023
Freshwater snails are intermediate hosts for several snail-borne diseases affecting humans and animals. Understanding the distribution of snail intermediate hosts and their infection status is very important to plan and implement effective disease ...

The effect of increasing water temperatures on Schistosoma mansoni transmission and Biomphalaria pfeifferi population dynamics: an agent-based modelling study. [PDF]

, 2014
INTRODUCTION: There is increasing interest in the control and elimination of schistosomiasis. Little is known, however, about the likely effects of increasing water-body temperatures on transmission. METHODS: We have developed an agent-based model of the

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,

Exploring the evolutionary potential of parasites: Larval stages of pathogen digenic trematodes in their thiarid snail host Tarebia granifera in Thailand

Zoosystematics and Evolution, 2018
Minute intestinal flukes from several distinct families of endoparasitic platyhelminths are a medically important group of foodborne trematodes prevalent throughout Southeast Asia and Australasia.

Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence

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,

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 ...

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 ...
