Investigating the Invasive Contamination of Lymnaeidae Snails with Trematodes According to Species and Sampling Location in Lorestan province, Iran, Middle East [PDF]
Radicine snails are of considerable medical and veterinary importance as termatodes’ vectors such snails are responsible for transmission of the zoonotic trematodes including Schistosoma turkestanicum and Fasciola gigantica in Iran.

Spread of the fascioliasis endemic area assessed by seasonal follow-up of rDNA ITS-2 sequenced lymnaeid populations in Cajamarca, Peru [PDF]
Fascioliasis is a worldwide emerging snail-borne zoonotic trematodiasis with a great spreading capacity linked to animal and human movements, climate change, and anthropogenic modifications of freshwater environments.

EVOLUTIONARY IMPLICATIONS OF A HIGH SELFING RATE IN THE FRESHWATER SNAIL LYMNAEA TRUNCATULA [PDF]
Self-compatible hermaphroditic organisms that mix self-fertilization and outcrossing are of great interest for investigating the evolution of mating systems. We investigate the evolution of selfing in Lymnaea truncatula, a self-compatible hermaphroditic freshwater snail.

Field and experimental evidence of preferential selfing in the freshwater mollusc Lymnaea truncatula (Gastropoda, Pulmonata) [PDF]
We have conducted a thorough study of the mating system of Lymnaea truncatula, the intermediate host of the liver fluke, using three approaches: (i) a population genetics study, (ii) controlled pairings in the laboratory and (iii) a progeny-array analysis. The population genetics study revealed high levels of inbreeding in the studied populations, with

Oviposition behaviour of Lymnaea truncatula in central France [PDF]
Several authors have reported on the annual generations of Lymnaea truncatula in the field or under laboratory conditions,--and the morphology of the egg masses has been described by Bondesen. Still unknown are some parameters of reproduction under field conditions, such as the length of the oviposition period and fluctuation in the density of egg ...

Identification and Determination of the Geographical Distribution of Freshwater Snails in Lorestan, Iran [PDF]
Snails are creatures present in various ecosystems that, in addition to being present in human surroundings, some of them are also important in veterinary medicine and medicine as the intermediate hosts of Digenean trematodes.
