Freshwater snail-borne parasitic diseases in Africa [PDF]
Tropical Medicine and HealthBackground Freshwater snails are the first obligatory intermediate hosts in the trematode life cycle. Several parasitic diseases transmitted by these snails are endemic in Africa, and their distribution closely follows that of the intermediate hosts ...

Isolation and characterization of the full-length cDNA encoding a member of a novel cytochrome p450 family (CYP320A1) from the tropical freshwater snail, Biomphalaria glabrata, intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
, 2005 Cytochrome p450s (cyp450s) are a family of structurally related proteins, with diverse functions, including steroid synthesis and breakdown of toxins. This paper reports the full-length sequence of a novel cyp450 gene, the first to be isolated from the ...

Range limits and parasite prevalence in a freshwater snail [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003 Geographical range limits are thought to be set by species' physiological or ecological adaptation to abiotic factors, but the importance of biotic factors such as parasitism in determining range limits has not been well explored. In this study the prevalence of trematode parasitism in populations of a freshwater gastropod snail, Lymnaea stagnalis ...

Draft genome of Semisulcospira libertina, a species of freshwater snail. [PDF]
Genomics Inform, 2021 Semisulcospira libertina, a species of freshwater snail, is widespread in East Asia. It is important as a food source. Additionally, it is a vector of clonorchiasis, paragonimiasis, metagonimiasis, and other parasites. Although S. libertina has ecological, commercial, and clinical importance, its whole-genome has not been reported yet.

Responses of four submerged macrophytes to freshwater snail density (Radix swinhoei) under clear‐water conditions: A mesocosm study [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Macrophytes play a key role in stabilizing clear‐water conditions in shallow freshwater ecosystems. Their populations are maintained by a balance between plant grazing and plant growth.

Opportunity or catastrophe? effect of sea salt on host-parasite survival and reproduction.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022 Seawater intrusion associated with decreasing groundwater levels and rising seawater levels may affect freshwater species and their parasites. While brackish water certainly impacts freshwater systems globally, its impact on disease transmission is ...
