Slow Invaders Going Fast: New Data of Exotic Slugs (Gastropoda: Eupulmonata) From Spain
Morphological and genetical confirmation of the occurrence of two non‐native terrestrial slugs in the Iberian Peninsula (northern Spain): Ambigolimax parvipenis and Boettgerilla pallens. ABSTRACT Invasive species are a major concern in the current scenario of biodiversity loss. Most studies focus on vertebrates and insects, while other groups have been

Resistance to currently deployed flukicide is a growing health problem. This study evaluated the in vitro anthelmintic activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐NPs) at 0.05, 0.10 and 0.12 mg/mL against Fasciola hepatica. The fastest mortality and paralysis rates of flukes were obtained at 0.12 mg/mL of ZnO‐NPs. Furthermore, SEM results showed complete

Spermatogenesis in the hermaphroditic Digenea (Trematoda)
While some variation of detail may be found in different species of the hermaphroditic Digenea, the process of spermatogenesis conforms to a common plan throughout the group. There is divergence of opinion concerning the interpretation of the structure of the ripe spermatozoon.In the testis of a young animal, primary, secondary and tertiary ...

Reinvestigation of the sperm ultrastructure of Hypoderaeum conoideum (Digenea: Echinostomatidae) [PDF]
Spermatological characteristics of the digenean Hypoderaeum conoideum (Echinostomatidae) collected from Anas platyrhynchos in the Lac d'Annecy (France) were reinvestigated using transmission electron microscopy. The previous study on this species only describes the presence of two axonemes of unequal lengths, a mitochondrion, a posterior nucleus, and ...
