PCR diagnosis of Fasciola hepatica in field-collected Lymnaea columella and Lymnaea viatrix snails

Veterinary Parasitology, 2006
Fasciolosis, caused by the trematode Fasciola hepatica, is a zoonosis of economic importance in livestock that is emerging as a chronic disease in humans. The intermediate hosts are lymnaeid snails, in which diagnosis of infection is traditionally based on cercarial shedding, tissue sectioning and crushing.

Isolation and detection of Fasciola hepatica DNA in Lymnaea viatrix from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues through multiplex-PCR

Veterinary Parasitology, 2008
Detection of Fasciola hepatica infection in Lymnaea viatrix through analysis of histological cuts is based upon morphological characters of the parasite during the intra-mollusk phase of parasitism. At this stage, trematode forms are very similar and, thus, very difficult to differentiate.

ECHINOSTOMATID LARVAL STAGES IN LYMNAEA VIATRIX (GASTROPODA: PULMONATA) FROM SOUTHWEST PATAGONIA, ARGENTINA

Journal of Parasitology, 2007
The partial life cycle of an echinostomatid found in Lymnaea viatrix from Patagonia, Argentina, was experimentally clarified. Emerging cercariae were exposed to laboratory-reared specimens of Biomphalaria sp. Metacercariae obtained from both naturally and experimentally infected snails were force-fed to chicks.

14C chronology and stable isotopes on Lymnaea viatrix shells in northwest Patagonia, Argentina. Do they express the Antarctic climatic reversal?

Carbonates and Evaporites, 2018
A multi-isotope environmental record comprising an upper section of the late Pleistocene and the lower and middle Holocene, including isotopic data on 30 samples of peat, marl, tufa, Lymnaea viatrix shells, and Hippidion sp. teeth, is described from a 15 m profile at Arroyo Leuto Caballo, Neuquen Province, Argentina.

Lymnaea neotropica and Lymnaea viatrix, potential intermediate hosts for Fascioloides magna

Journal of Helminthology, 2012
AbstractExperimental infections of two South American lymnaeid populations with Fascioloides magna were carried out to determine whether these snails may sustain larval development of this digenean and, if so, to quantify their potential for cercarial production.

The Effect of Cyclic Temperatures on the Growth ofFasciola hepaticaandLymnaea viatrix

The Veterinary Journal, 1999
The experiment aimed to measure the effect of constant and variable temperatures on the growth of Lymnaea viatrix snails, on the development of a Peruvian isolate of Fasciola hepatica eggs and on the development of F. hepatica in the snails. This was carried out by cultivating infected and uninfected snails and fluke eggs in artificial, temperature ...

Characterisation of Lymnaea cubensis, L. viatrix and L. neotropica n. sp., the main vectors of Fasciola hepatica in Latin America, by analysis of their ribosomal and mitochondrial DNA.

Annals of tropical medicine and parasitology, 2008
Although, in the endemic areas throughout the world, human fascioliasis presents varying patterns in its epidemiology, the species of lymnaeid snail that act as intermediate hosts and vectors are always crucial in the transmission of the causative parasites. Species in the Galba/Fossaria group of snails, such as Lymnaea cubensis, L. viatrix var.
