Identification of parasite-host habitats in Anxiang county, Hunan Province, China based on multi-temporal China-Brazil earth resources satellite (CBERS) images. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Remote sensing is a promising technique for monitoring the distribution and dynamics of various vector-borne diseases. In this study, we used the multi-temporal CBERS images, obtained free of charge, to predict the habitats of the snail Oncomelania ...

Environmental DNA for detecting Bulinus truncatus: A new environmental surveillance tool for schistosomiasis emergence risk assessment

Environmental DNA, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 161-174, April 2020., 2020
Under ongoing climate changes, the development of large‐scale monitoring tools for assessing the risk of disease emergence constitutes an urging challenge. Especially for snail‐borne diseases such as the urogenital bilharziasis that threat European countries. The widespread of this tropical disease relies on the local presence of compatible snail hosts

Follicular helper T cells recruit eosinophils into host liver by producing CXCL12 during Schistosoma japonicum infection

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2566-2572, February 2020., 2020
Abstract Schistosomiasis affects at least 200 million people in tropical and subtropical areas. The major pathology of schistosomiasis is egg‐induced liver granuloma characterized by an eosinophil‐rich inflammatory infiltration around the eggs, which subsequently leads to hepatic fibrosis and circulatory impairment in host.

Sedum sarmentosum Total Flavonoids Alleviate Schistosomiasis‐Induced Liver Fibrosis by Altering TGF‐β1 and Smad7 Expression

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Objectives. Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease that affects over 142 million people worldwide. The main causes of death of schistosomiasis include liver granuloma and secondary hepatic cirrhosis resulting from severe fibrosis. Despite intensive research, controlling liver fibrosis associated with schistosomiasis remains challenging.

A New Method to Test Molluscicides against the Philippine Schistosomiasis Snail Vectors

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
To expedite the discovery of novel molluscicides in the laboratory, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of a new molluscicidal assay. This assay is based on Oncomelania hupensis quadrasi snails and is called miniaturized plate test or mpt. To perform this assay, a 12‐well plate, 3 snails per well, and 24‐h exposure period were used.

Prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium in Snail Intermediate Hosts in Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Background. Schistosomiasis is caused by Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium in Africa. These schistosome parasites use freshwater snail intermediate hosts to complete their lifecycle. Varied prevalence rates of these parasites in the snail intermediate hosts were reported from several African countries, but there were no summarized data for ...

Distinct genetic diversity of Oncomelania hupensis, intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum in mainland China as revealed by ITS sequences. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
BACKGROUND: Oncomelania hupensis is the unique intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum, which causes schistosomiasis endemic in the Far East, and especially in mainland China. O. hupensis largely determines the parasite's geographical range.

Prevalensi Serkaria Schistosoma japonicum pada Keong Oncomelania hupensis lindoensis, Kepadatan Keong, dan Daerah Fokus, di Daerah Endemis, Indonesia

Jurnal Vektor Penyakit, 2022
Schistosomiasis in Indonesia is caused by the trematode worm S. japonicum, with the snail Oncomelania hupensis lindoensis as the intermediate host. To eliminate schistosomiasis by 2020, cross-sectoral schistosomiasis control is carried out, including ...

Pemetaan Keong Fokus Oncomelania hupensis lindoensis di Empat Desa Schistosomiasis di Kabupaten Sigi dan Poso

Jurnal Vektor Penyakit, 2018
The habitat of Oncomelania hupensis lindoensis snails was found widely spread in the three areas of the Napu, Bada and Lindu Highlands with the infection rate above 1%. The last focus distribution map of this snail was done eight years ago.
