Preliminary Survey of Larval Trematodes in Freshwater Snails of Phitsanulok Province in Lower Northern Thailand [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2022
Background: Freshwater snails serve as intermediate hosts for a variety of trematodes that cause illness in the human and animal populations. Several species of freshwater snails in Thailand have been found to have larval trematode infections.

Spatial and seasonal distribution of human schistosomiasis intermediate host snails and their interactions with other freshwater snails in 7 districts of KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
The spatial and seasonal distribution, abundance, and infection rates of human schistosomiasis intermediate host snails and interactions with other freshwater snails, water physicochemical parameters, and climatic factors was determined in this study.

Abundance and annual distribution of freshwater snails and some trematode cercariae at Damietta Governorate, Egypt [PDF]

Helminthologia, 2021
In addition to being a good food source, freshwater snails are considered one of the positively and negatively influencing invertebrates on the environment.

The Land and Freshwater Snails of Campeche

Bulletin of the Florida Museum of Natural History, 1967
This review of the land and freshwater snails of Campeche, Mexico, records 59 species and subspecies of snails including 47 terrestrial and 12 acquatic forms; 21 are recorded for the first time from the state. Miradiscops haplocochlion is described as new; 11 previously recognized taxa are placed in synonymy.

More deterministic assembly constrains the diversity of gut microbiota in freshwater snails [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Growing evidence has suggested a strong link between gut microbiota and host fitness, yet our understanding of the assembly mechanisms governing gut microbiota remains limited.

Invasive freshwater snails form novel microbial relationships. [PDF]

Evol Appl, 2021
AbstractResident microbes (microbiota) can shape host organismal function and adaptation in the face of environmental change. Invasion of new habitats exposes hosts to novel selection pressures, but little is known about the impact on microbiota and the host–microbiome relationship (e.g., how rapidly new microbial associations are formed, whether ...

Land use/land cover change, physico-chemical parameters and freshwater snails in Yewa North, Southwestern Nigeria. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2021
The management of ecosystem has been a major contributor to the control of diseases that are transmitted by snail intermediate hosts. The ability of freshwater snails to self-fertilize, giving rise to thousands of hatchlings, enables them to contribute ...

MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for the identification of freshwater snails from Senegal, including intermediate hosts of schistosomes. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Freshwater snails of the genera Biomphalaria, Bulinus, and Oncomelania are intermediate hosts of schistosomes that cause human schistosomiasis, one of the most significant infectious neglected diseases in the world. Identification of freshwater snails is

Density-Dependent Prophylaxis in Freshwater Snails Driven by Oxylipin Chemical Cues [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
While animal aggregations can benefit the fitness of group members, the behaviour may also lead to higher risks of parasite infection as group density increases.

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 ...
