Cercárias do tipo equinostoma apresentando colar cefálico com 45 espinhos foram encontradas em Physa marmorata Guilding, 1828 coletadas em coleção aquática localizada em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Metacercárias obtidas experimentalmente em Biomphalaria glabrata (Say, 1818) foram utilizadas para a infecção de Columba livia Gmelin, 1789 ...

A Molecular Phylogeny of Physidae (Gastropoda: Basommatophora) Based on Mitochondrial DNA Sequences [PDF]
The family Physidae (Pulmonata: Basommatophora) is a group of freshwater hermaphroditic snails that have a Holarctic distribution with extension into Central and South America. Despite considerable literature justifying various taxonomic schemes and groupings, no classification has been proposed using modern phylogenetic methods. In an effort to expand

Intermediate insights: tracing trematodes infecting amphibians via their first intermediate snail hosts [PDF]
Background Amphibians are a prime example of the global biodiversity crisis, as they represent the most threatened group of vertebrates. Yet, amphibian macroparasites remain one of the most poorly described groups of parasites, with the majority of ...

Assessing the Relationship Between Macroinvertebrate Metrics and Fine Sediment Index for Ecological Biomonitoring in the Little Akaki River, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. [PDF]
Habitat quality had a positive correlation with percentage of Ephemeroptera, percentage of EOT, and Shannon diversity index (r = 0.833, r = 0.880, and r = 0.939, respectively). PSI had positive correlation with number of taxa, and ASPT‐ETHbios (r = 0.819, and r = 0.798, respectively). Most sites were heavily sedimented.
