Toxicity of Metals to a Freshwater Snail,Melanoides tuberculata [PDF]

The Scientific World Journal, 2012
Adult freshwater snailsMelanoides tuberculata(Gastropod, Thiaridae) were exposed for a four-day period in laboratory conditions to a range of copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), aluminium (Al), and manganese (Mn) concentrations.

Phylogeny of freshwater viviparid snails in Japan [PDF]

Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2015
We document extensive incongruence between molecular phylogeny and the current taxonomy of the freshwater gastropod family Viviparidae in Japan. A phylogeny based on the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I and 16S rRNA genes for East Asian viviparids comprises three major clades, the two largest of which are composed primarily of paraphyletic or

Transcriptional responses of Biomphalaria pfeifferi and Schistosoma mansoni following exposure to niclosamide, with evidence for a synergistic effect on snails following exposure to both stressors. [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundSchistosomiasis is one of the world's most common NTDs. Successful control operations often target snail vectors with the molluscicide niclosamide.

Prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium in Snail Intermediate Hosts in Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Journal of Tropical Medicine, 2020
Background. Schistosomiasis is caused by Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium in Africa. These schistosome parasites use freshwater snail intermediate hosts to complete their lifecycle.

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Spatial analysis and identification of environmental risk factors affecting the distribution of Indoplanorbis and Lymnaea species in semi-arid and irrigated areas of Haryana, India

Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2016
Fasciolosis, amphistomosis and schistosomosis, transmitted by the freshwater snail species Indoplanorbis and Lymnaea, are important snail-borne diseases in India as they affect the entire spectrum of domestic animals causing substantial mortality and ...
