Conditions of Eleyele dam in Ibadan Nigeria inhabited by Melanoides tuberculata
Sustainability of Water Quality and Ecology, 2016Abstract Melanoides tuberculata is now been monitored worldwide because of its fast growing distribution and its economic importance. M. tuberculata , a freshwater mollusc that is an invasive species of freshwater snail, serves as vector transmitting several diseases causing parasites, was found inhabiting Eleyele dam in Ibadan, Nigeria.

Melanoides tuberculata , naturally infected by gymnocephalous cercariae, were found in aquatic collections from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. After morphological characterization, larvae were used for experimental infection of Poecilia reticulata.

AbstractThe Red Queen hypothesis predicts that sex should be more common in populations heavily infested with parasites, than in those without. This hypothesis was investigated in the aquatic snail Melanoides tuberculata, in which both sexual and parthenogenetic individuals exist in natural populations, and some populations are heavily infested by ...

Abstract Melanoides tuberculata, entrained to a L: D 12 : 12 regimen, exhibits a crepuscular pattern of locomotor activity which persists for 6 to 7 days in both constant light and constant relative darkness at a period which deviates only slightly from 24 h, showing the rhythms to be endogenous.

A philophthalmid species from Israel using the freshwater snail Melanoides tuberculata as intermediate host was studied. The biological and morphological characteristics of all developmental stages of the life cycle of this philophthalmid were described, and compared to those of Philophthalmus lucipetus Rudolphi, 1819 from Israel, Philophthalmus gralli

Cercarial dermatitis is caused by animal schistosomes in many parts of the world including Iran. Various stages of the parasites have been studied in intermediate and definitive hosts in northern and southwestern Iran; however, no molecular investigation for species identification and classification of these agents has been carried out, so far.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2018
To understand the effect of metal pollution on the speciation process, we conducted comparative analyses of six populations of the gastropod Melanoides tuberculata, which dominated the Manzala lagoon (Nile Delta, Egypt). Geometric morphometric analysis was implemented to quantify the phenotypic plasticity of the species. The results from both Canonical

Abstract Sublethal effects in the aquatic snail Melanoides tuberculata were examined during exposure to whole cell extracts of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii and live C. raciborskii cultures, containing varying concentrations of algal cells, cellular debris, and the blue-green algal toxin, cylindrospermopsin (CYN).

[The discovery of Melanoides tuberculata as the first intermediate host of Echinochasmus japonicus].
Zhongguo ji sheng chong xue yu ji sheng chong bing za zhi = Chinese journal of parasitology & parasitic diseases, 1989This paper reports on the discovery of cercariae which are similar to those of Echinotomatidae in Melanoides tuberculata in Yunxiao and Zhaoan Counties of Fujian. Encysted metacercariae were found in the gills of fresh-water fish after experimental infection with the cercariae for 3 to 4 hours.
