Malacofauna of lotic environments in the Northeast and Brazilian semiarid region: current knowledge and new records

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
Despite the great diversity, economic and environmental importance of limnic mollusks, the group is still little investigated in the Brazilian semiarid region, especially in the state of Piauí.

Gastropods as intermediate hosts of Angiostrongylus spp. in the Americas: bioecological characteristics and geographical distribution [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2020
BACKGROUND Intermediate hosts are key organisms in maintaining parasite life cycles, because they can act as amplifiers in the transmission from natural reservoirs to humans.

Rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) active larval emergence from deceased bubble pond snails (Bullastra lessoni) into water

Parasitology, 2023
Angiostrongylus cantonensis (the rat lungworm) is a zoonotic parasite of non-permissive accidental (dogs, humans, horses, marsupials, birds) hosts.

Protein structure and sequence re-analysis of 2019-nCoV genome does not indicate snakes as its intermediate host or the unique similarity between its spike protein insertions and HIV-1

bioRxiv, 2020
As the infection of 2019-nCoV coronavirus is quickly developing into a global pneumonia epidemic, careful analysis of its transmission and cellular mechanisms is sorely needed.

Are pangolins the intermediate host of the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) ?

bioRxiv, 2020
The outbreak of 2019-nCoV pneumonia (COVID-19) in the city of Wuhan, China has resulted in more than 70,000 laboratory confirmed cases, and recent studies showed that 2019-nCoV (SARS-CoV-2) could be of bat origin but involve other potential intermediate ...

Mathematically modeling spillovers of an emerging infectious zoonosis with an intermediate host

PLoS ONE, 2020
Modeling the behavior of zoonotic pandemic threats is a key component of their control. Many emerging zoonoses, such as SARS, Nipah, and Hendra, mutated from their wild type while circulating in an intermediate host population, usually a domestic species,

Monorchis parvus and Gymnophallus choledochus: two trematode species infecting cockles as first and second intermediate host

Parasitology, 2020
The most deleterious stage of a trematode life cycle occurs in the first intermediate host where the parasite penetrates as a miracidium and asexually multiplicates in sporocysts or rediae.

Effects of first intermediate host density, host size and salinity on trematode infections in mussels of the south-western Baltic Sea

Parasitology, 2020
Trematode prevalence and abundance in hosts are known to be affected by biotic drivers as well as by abiotic drivers. In this study, we used the unique salinity gradient found in the south-western Baltic Sea to: (i) investigate patterns of trematode ...
