Stream Invertebrate Responses to Fine Sediment Depend on the Organic and Inorganic Components
ABSTRACT Excess fine sediment ( < 2 mm) is a pervasive stressor of aquatic systems at a global scale. To date, most research quantifying ecological response to deposited fine sediment has been conducted without distinguishing between the organic and inorganic components of fine sediment, leaving mechanistic understanding of how fine sediment affects ...

Secuenciación del ITS-1 del ADN ribosomal de Galba truncatula (Gastropoda, Lymnaeidae) y su impacto potencial en la transmisión de la fascioliasis en Mendoza, Argentina [PDF]
Sequencing of the rDNA ITS–1 proved that the lymnaeid snail species Galba truncatula is present in Argentina and that it belongs to the haplotype HC, the same as that responsible for the fascioliasis transmission in the human hyperendemic area with the ...

Анатомічні характеристики ставковикових (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Lymnaeidae) фауни України [PDF]
Проведено аналіз основних анатомічних характеристик 16 видів ставковиків. Показано, що анатомічні особливості ставковиків мають обмежене діагностичне значення на видовому рівні, хоча й дозволяють ідентифікувати ряд видів, які не мають достовірних ...

Molecular characterization of cryptic and sympatric lymnaeid species from the Galba/Fossaria group in Mendoza Province, Northern Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]
Background: Freshwater lymnaeid snails can act as the intermediate hosts for trematode parasites such as the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, that cause significant economic and biomedical burden worldwide, particularly through bovine fascioliasis ...

Resistance to currently deployed flukicide is a growing health problem. This study evaluated the in vitro anthelmintic activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐NPs) at 0.05, 0.10 and 0.12 mg/mL against Fasciola hepatica. The fastest mortality and paralysis rates of flukes were obtained at 0.12 mg/mL of ZnO‐NPs. Furthermore, SEM results showed complete

When One Global Invasion Hides Another—Cryptic Interspecific Invasion in Freshwater Gastropods
ABSTRACT Aim Cryptic invasions are an understudied phenomenon among species invasions, especially in freshwater invertebrates. We study the gastropod family Physidae, including the global invaders Physella acuta and several enigmatic Stenophysa species, their phylogenetic relationships and the presence of native species among African Physidae. We infer
