Cytoplasmic male sterility and mitochondrial metabolism: evidence for low complex I contribution in male-sterile freshwater snail Physa acuta

bioRxiv
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a well-known example of mitonuclear genetic conflict over sex determination in hermaphrodite plants, where mitochondrial genes maternally inherited sterilize the male function while biparental inherited nuclear genes ...

Ein Ernährungsversuch mit der Süßwasserlungenschnecke Physa acuta Drap.

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung B, 1947
Die Pflanzennahrung allein ist für das Gedeihen von Physa acuta Drap. nicht ausreichend; auch diese Art bedarf des tierischen Eiweißes, genau wie Lymnaea stagnalis L., Stagnicola palustris O. F. Müller, Radix auricularia L., Radix ovata Drap. und Viriparus viviparus L., für die dies bereits nachgewiesen wurde.

Bisphenol A (BPA) modulates the expression of endocrine and stress response genes in the freshwater snail Physa acuta.

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2018
Bisphenol A (BPA), a known endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) that can mimic the action of oestrogens by interacting with hormone receptors, is potentially able to influence reproductive functions in vertebrates and invertebrates.

DNA barcoding of the medically important freshwater snail Physa acuta reveals multiple invasion events into Africa.

Acta Tropica, 2018
The medically important freshwater snail Physa acuta is highly invasive and has been reported in several freshwater environments across Africa. To identify species and provide initial insights into the origins of P.

Rapid life-history evolution reinforces competitive asymmetry between invasive and resident species

Peer Community Journal
Biological invasions by phylogenetically and ecologically similar competitors pose an evolutionary challenge to native species. Cases of character displacement following invasions suggest that they can respond to this challenge by shifting their traits ...

Ecology and molecular validation of species of vector snails of fascioliosis and schistosomiosis in Bangladesh

Parasitology
Freshwater snails are important intermediate hosts for several parasitic diseases, including fascioliosis and schistosomiosis, with significant impacts on human and animal health. In Bangladesh, vector snails have been identified only by morphology. Here,

Correcting misidentifications and first confirmation of the globally-invasive Physa acuta Draparnaud, 1805 (Gastropoda: Physidae) in Thailand and Laos.

, 2018
Introduced freshwater gastropods in the Indo-Burmese region may be under-documented owing to a lack of research attention. For the first time, we report on the widespread establishment of the globally invasive freshwater snail Physa acuta (Physidae) in ...

Prevalence of Cercariae Infection in Snails From the Lymnaeidae and Physidae Families in Aquatic Regions of Guilan Province, Northern Iran, and the Effect of Some Physicochemical Parameters of Water on Snail Abundance and Infection Rate [PDF]

مجله دانشگاه علوم پزشکی گیلان
Background: Some freshwater snails are as intermediate hosts of human and animal parasitic trematode. Study on freshwater snails’ fauna and cercariae infection play important role to detect sources of infection.
