Population dynamics of intermediate snail hosts of Fasciola hepatica and some environmental factors in San Juan y Martinez municipality, Cuba

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2004
The variation of abundances of intermediate snail hosts of Fasciola hepatica in Cuba (Fossaria cubensis and Pseudosuccinea columella) was studied during one year under natural conditions at five sampling sites in San Juan y Martinez municipality, Pinar ...

Radix natalensis (Gastropoda: Lymnaeidae), a potential intermediate host of Fasciola hepatica in Egypt

Parasite, 2010
Experimental infections of Egyptian Radix natalensis with French miracidia of Fasciola hepatica were carried out to determine if this snail might act as an intermediate host in the life cycle of this digenean in Egypt. Single exposures of R.

First molecular characterization of Galba neotropica in Uruguay

FAVE Sección Ciencias Veterinarias, 2016
Until recently, it was believed that only two lymnaeid species (i.e. Galba viatrix and Pseudosuccinea columella) occurred in Uruguay. However, based on a molecular approach, an additional species Galba cubensis, was recently discovered.

DNA multigene sequencing of topotypic specimens of the fascioliasis vector Lymnaea diaphana and phylogenetic analysis of the genus Pectinidens (Gastropoda)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2012
Freshwater lymnaeid snails are crucial in defining transmission and epidemiology of fascioliasis. In South America, human endemic areas are related to high altitudes in Andean regions.

An optimized DNA extraction and multiplex PCR for the detection of Fasciola sp. in lymnaeid snails [PDF]

Veterinary Parasitology, 2011
This study deals with the development and validation of an original PCR protocol to assess the presence of Fasciola hepatica in Galba truncatula its main intermediate host in Western Europe. In the present study two DNA extraction techniques are compared and a new multiplex PCR is described.

Prevalence of Bovine Fasciolosis in Ethiopia, 2010–2024: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Bovine fasciolosis is a neglected zoonotic and economically crucial parasitic disease of cattle caused by Fasciola spp. However, estimates of the overall prevalence of bovine fasciolosis in Ethiopia are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the overall prevalence of bovine fasciolosis nationally by a systematic review and meta‐analysis of ...

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Ovine Fasciolosis in Sheep Slaughtered at Addis Ababa Abattoir Enterprise, Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Ovine fasciolosis is a widely prevalent trematode disease of small ruminants in Ethiopia that causes significant animal health and economic impacts, particularly in sheep. A cross‐sectional study was carried out at Addis Ababa Abattoir Enterprise, Ethiopia, from December 2022 to May 2023 with the objective of estimating the prevalence of ovine ...

First Report of Fascioliasis of Ruminants in the Kharaa River Basin and Identification of Snail Hosts in Mongolia

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Fascioliasis is a parasitic liver disease of mammals induced by liver flukes, Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. Fasciola spp. rely on their definitive hosts, ruminants, and intermediate hosts, snails, to survive and can incidentally infect humans as definitive hosts. Ruminant (goat, sheep, and cattle) liver and fecal samples were collected from

The Effect of Climate Change on Emergence and Evolution of Zoonotic Diseases in Asia

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 587-611, November 2025.
ABSTRACT As the climate of Asia changes under the influence of global warming, the incidence and spatial distribution of known zoonoses will evolve, and new zoonoses are expected to emerge as a result of greater exposure to organisms which currently occur only in wildlife.

Dispersal rather than climate and local environment constrains non‐marine snail fauna in west Greenland

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.
The biota of North Atlantic islands evokes intriguing questions on its evolution, colonisation routes, and an equilibrium between dispersal limitation and climatic/habitat constraints. While good data on non‐marine snails exist for most of the islands, the data for Greenland were observed mainly between 1850 and 1900.
