Integrative taxonomy: combining molecular and morphological characteristics to identify Lymnaea (Galba) cubensis, intermediate host of Fasciola hepatica

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2021
Despite the epidemiological importance of the Lymnaeidae family regarding transmission of Fasciola hepatica, knowledge about the diversity and distribution of these molluscs and the role of each species in the expansion of fasciolosis remains sparse ...

Morphological and molecular characterization of Fasciola isolates from livestock in Golestan province, northern Iran

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 4, Page 1824-1832, July 2023., 2023
The aim of the present study was to identify Fasciola hepatica, Fasciola gigantica and the intermediate/hybrid forms of Fasciola isolates from livestock in Golestan province, northern Iran, using morphometric and molecular tools. From a total of 110 Fasciola isolates collected from 94 sheep, 12 cattle and 4 goats, 72 isolates (65.4%) were identified as

Ecological components and evolution of selfing in the freshwater snail Galba truncatula [PDF]

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2004
AbstractThe reproductive assurance hypothesis emphasizes that self‐fertilization should evolve in species with reduced dispersal capability, low population size or experiencing recurrent bottlenecks. Our work investigates the ecological components of the habitats colonized by the snail, Galba truncatula, that may influence the evolution of selfing ...

Last Glacial Maximum cryogenic calcite deposits in an alluvial fan at Villetoureix, southwest France

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 244-258, April/June 2023., 2023
Abstract The origin of white calcite silts forming 0.5 to 3‐cm‐thick lenses in alluvial fan deposits 14C‐dated to the Last Glacial Maximum in the Dronne Valley (Dordogne, southwest France) is investigated using microscopic imagery, chemistry, and O and C stable isotopes.

High‐resolution environmental changes recorded in ostracod and mollusc fauna from the Holsteinian palaeolake at Ortel Królewski II, eastern Poland

Boreas, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 793-809, October 2022., 2022
To better understand the environmental variability during the Holsteinian interglacial, fauna of the palaeolake deposits at Ortel Królewski II, eastern Poland was investigated. The analysis covered the uppermost part of the profile, representing the so‐called pre‐optimal part of the Holsteinian interglacial (MIS 11c), namely the Taxus and Pinus‐Larix ...

Environmental heterogeneity of the Lower Palaeolithic land surface on the Goodwood‐Slindon Raised Beach: comparisons of the records from Boxgrove and Valdoe, Sussex, UK

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 572-592, May 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT The buried soil above the Goodwood‐Slindon Raised Beach running along the foot of the South Downs (Sussex) is one of the most extensive Lower Palaeolithic land surfaces known. It extends for 16 km but exposures are limited to Boxgrove, the focus of archaeological excavations since the 1980s, and Valdoe, 4.8 km to the west.

A relic of glacial isolation: deep phylogeographic splits in dwarf pond snail Galba truncatula (Gastropoda, Lymnaeidae) [PDF]

Frontiers of Biogeography
The dwarf pond snail Galba truncatula (O.F. Müller, 1774) is a widespread freshwater species and a key intermediate host of Fasciola spp. Despite its ecological and medical significance, the evolutionary structure of its populations remains incompletely ...

Cryptic intermediate snail host of the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica in Africa

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Snails such as Galba truncatula are hosts for trematode flukes causing fascioliasis, a zoonosis that is a major public health problem. Galba truncatula has recently been shown to be a cryptic species complex.
