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.

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.

THE FLUSHING FOR LEAD IN FRESHWATER SNAIL FILOPALUDINA JAVANICA (VON DEM BUSCH, 1844) [PDF]

Russian Journal of Agricultural and Socio-Economic Sciences, 2017
Increasing industrial activities in Lamongan District is assumed to be followed by the increase on the amount of liters in rivers and ponds. Freshwater snails (Filopaludina javanika v.d Busch 1844) that live in rivers and ponds are always exposed to ...

Freshwater snail-borne parasitic diseases in Africa [PDF]

Tropical Medicine and Health
Background 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 ...

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.

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

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 ...
