Investigating the Invasive Contamination of Lymnaeidae Snails with Trematodes According to Species and Sampling Location in Lorestan province, Iran, Middle East [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Razi Institute
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]

open access: yesOne Health, 2021
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]

open access: yesEvolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 2003
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]

open access: yesHeredity, 2004
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]

open access: yesJournal of Molluscan Studies, 1998
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 ...

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

open access: yesRevista 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 ...

Ecological and parasitological characteristics of the “Fasciola hepatica L.–Lymnaea (Galba) subangulata” system

open access: yesБіологічні студії, 2022
Background. Fasciolosis is one of the most common zoonoses in the world, caused by the trematode Fasciola hepatica L. This helminthiasis leads to significant economic damage in animal husbandry and can pose a direct threat to human health.

Distribution of Lymnaeidae (Mollusca: Pulmonata), intermediate snail hosts of Fasciola hepatica in Venezuela

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009
An extensive malacological survey was carried out between 2005-2009 in order to clarify the exact number of lymnaeid species which may be intermediate hosts of Fasciola hepatica in Venezuela. Four species were discovered during this survey, including two
