The morphology, genetic structure, and haplotype distribution of the invasive freshwater snails Biomphalaria straminea and Physa acuta in Guangdong, China [PDF]
Tropical Medicine and HealthBackground Biomphalaria and Physa (order Gastropoda) serve as vectors and reservoirs for infectious agents that affect both humans and animals. This study provides updated insights into the epidemiology, morphology, phylogeny, and haplotype diversity of ...

Who eats whom? Interactions between the non-native snail Physa acuta, local digeneans, and a commensal oligochaete [PDF]
ParasitologyParasite transmission can be disrupted when their free-living larval stages are consumed by non-host organisms. Yet, the contribution of benthic scrapers to this process remains insufficiently explored. Here, we experimentally assessed the ability of the

Phylogeography and genetics of the globally invasive snail Physa acuta Draparnaud 1805, and its potential to serve as an intermediate host to larval digenetic trematodes [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Physa acuta is a globally invasive freshwater snail native to North America. Prior studies have led to conflicting views of how P. acuta populations are connected and genetic diversity is partitioned globally.

Temperature-dependent benefits and costs of cytoplasmic male sterility in snail <i>Physa acuta</i>. [PDF]
Proc Biol SciCytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) originates from a mito-nuclear conflict where mitochondrial genes induce male sterility and nuclear genes restore male fertility in hermaphrodites.

Angucycline-like Aromatic Polyketide from a Novel Streptomyces Species Reveals Freshwater Snail Physa acuta as Underexplored Reservoir for Antibiotic-Producing Actinomycetes [PDF]
Antibiotics, 2020 Antibiotic producers have mainly been isolated from soil, which often has led to the rediscovery of known compounds. In this study, we identified the freshwater snail Physa acuta as an unexplored source for new antibiotic producers.

How do developmental and parental exposures to predation affect personality and immediate behavioural plasticity in the snail Physa acuta? [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2020 Individuals differ in personality and immediate behavioural plasticity. While developmental environment may explain this group diversity, the effect of parental environment is still unexplored—a surprising observation since parental environment ...
