Mitochondrial Genetic Diversity of the Freshwater Snail Melanoides tuberculata

Biochemical Genetics, 2018
According to geological history, Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo formed at different times and were once connected during Quaternary glaciations. To determine how this history has influenced phylogeography, our study examined the population genetic structure of the tropical freshwater gastropod Melanoides tuberculata across Peninsular Malaysia and ...

Reproduction in the Malayan freshwater cerithiacean gastropod Melanoides tuberculata

Journal of Zoology, 1974
Melanoides tuberculata in the Kuala Lumpur area of Malaysia were found to be entirely female, reproducing parthenogenetically. The reproductive system is extremely simple in structure and histology, lacking all the glandular developments common in most mesogastropods.

Melanoides tuberculata (Mollusca: Thiaridae) as an intermediate host of Centrocestus formosanus (Trematoda: Heterophyidae) in Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesRevista Do Instituto De Medicina Tropical De Sao Paulo, 2010
Pleurolophocercous cercariae emerged from naturally infected Melanoides tuberculata from Minas Gerais State, Brazil, were used to perform experimental infection of laboratory-reared Poecilia reticulata. Mature metacercariae were obtained from the gills of fishes and force-fed to Mus musculus. The adult parasites which recovered from small intestines of

Density and variability of dinucleotide microsatellites in the parthenogenetic polyploid snail Melanoides tuberculata

Molecular Ecology, 1998
Characterization of microsatellites in the parthenogenetic polyploid snail Melanoides tuberculata revealed an unusual high density of dinucleotide repeats. Multiple banding patterns were obtained at these loci, and interpreted as a consequence of polyploidy. Microsatellite variability was low within, but high between, shell morphotypes.

A checklist of trematodes (Platyhelminthes) transmitted by Melanoides tuberculata (Mollusca: Thiaridae)

Zootaxa, 2011
A list of species of Trematoda (flukes) transmitted by Melanoides tuberculata (Müller, 1774) is presented based on 136 articles published between 1896 and 2010. This snail species has been reported as an intermediate host for flukes belonging to 17 families, 25 genera and 37 species, including 11 trematodes reported as adults from man.

Conditions of Eleyele dam in Ibadan Nigeria inhabited by Melanoides tuberculata

Sustainability of Water Quality and Ecology, 2016
Abstract 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 (Mollusca: Thiaridae) Harboring Renicolid Cercariae (Trematoda: Renicolidae) In Brazil

Journal of Parasitology, 2012
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.

Spatial and temporal patterns of parthenogenesis and parasitism in the freshwater snail Melanoides tuberculata

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2005
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 ...
