Adaptation of Lymnaea fuscus and Radix balthica to Fasciola hepatica through the experimental infection of several successive snail generations

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background High prevalence of Fasciola hepatica infection (>70%) was noted during several outbreaks before the 2000s in several French farms where Galba truncatula is lacking. Other lymnaeids such as Lymnaea fuscus, L.

Lymnaea schirazensis, an overlooked snail distorting fascioliasis data: genotype, phenotype, ecology, worldwide spread, susceptibility, applicability.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundLymnaeid snails transmit medical and veterinary important trematodiases, mainly fascioliasis. Vector specificity of fasciolid parasites defines disease distribution and characteristics.

Larval trematode infections in Lymnaea glabra populations living in the Brenne Regional Natural Park, central France

Parasite, 2015
Lymnaea glabra is known to be a natural intermediate host of two flukes, Calicophoron daubneyi and Fasciola hepatica, in central France. But it can also sustain larval development of other digeneans.

SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF LYMNAEIDAE (MOLLUSCA, BASOMMATOPHORA), INTERMEDIATE HOST OF Fasciola hepatica LINNAEUS, 1758 (TREMATODA, DIGENEA) IN BRAZIL

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2014
Snails of the family Lymnaeidae act as intermediate hosts in the biological cycle of Fasciola hepatica, which is a biological agent of fasciolosis, a parasitic disease of medical importance for humans and animals. The present work aimed to update and map

A study of the effect of temperature on the growth of Fasciola hepatica in Lymnaea truncatula

Parasitology, 1974
The growth rates of the intramolluscan stages of the parasite Fasciola hepatica were determined at three temperatures 16°, 20° and 25°C. A graphical relationship of growth rate with respect to temperature was produced and a growth array was calculated from this. Meteorological data were summarized in the form of a temperature array.

Lymnaea truncatula, intermediate host of some Plagiorchiidae and Notocotylidae species in León, NW Spain [PDF]

Journal of Helminthology, 1994
AbstractTo study the distribution of Lymnaea truncatula in the Porma river basin (León, NW Spain) and its helminth fauna, malacological samplings were carried out at 66 points in the basin and the presence of these molluscs was detected in 31. To trace the dynamics of this mollusc population and the prevalence and intensity of its infection by ...
