The lethal effect of soap on Schistosoma mansoni cercariae in water.
PLoS Neglected Tropical DiseasesBackgroundSchistosomiasis is a parasitic disease which is spread through skin contact with water containing Schistosoma cercariae. Drug treatment has been the main control method, but it does not prevent reinfection.

The Journal of Parasitology, 1917 During the months of April, May, June, and July of 1916, I examined 1,500 molluscs from the rivers and fresh-water pools of Natal. They included several species. Limnaea natalensis is a common form with a dextral shell. Physopsis africana, a common mollusc amongst decomposing vegetation, has a blunt-pointed sinistral shell with a truncate columella ...

The effects of seasonality and parasitism on diet and habitat selection in the common periwinkle
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.The common periwinkle Littorina littorea is an ecologically important grazer, known for its strong influence on algal communities and its role in structuring ecosystems. It serves as the first intermediate host for several trematode species in the Baltic Sea, especially for the fluke Cryptocotyle lingua.

A suggested repellent for Schistosome cercariae [PDF]
Epidemiology and Infection, 1947 Attack by the cercariae of Schistosoma haematobium, S. mansoni and S. japonicum causes in man debilitating diseases which in certain countries are widespread. Infection is mainly through the skin, though it can occur through drinking water containing the parasites.

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 648-657, April 2026.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

Scientists' Warning on the Rapid Evolution of Parasites in the Anthropocene
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Human activities are changing the natural world at an accelerating pace, and as a consequence exerting novel and often strong selection pressures on living organisms. For species with traits conferring huge inherent evolutionary potential, like parasites, the outcome may be rapid adaptive responses spanning multiple phenotypic traits. The rise

Trematode cercariae as prey for zooplankton : effect on fitness traits of predators
, 2018 Removal of parasite free-living stages by predators has previously been suggested an important factor controlling parasite transmission in aquatic habitats. Experimental studies of zooplankton predation on macroparasite larvae are, however, scarce.
