Fasciola hepatica-Pseudosuccinea columella interaction: effect of increasing parasite doses, successive exposures and geographical origin on the infection outcome of susceptible and naturally-resistant snails from Cuba [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Pseudosuccinea columella is one of the most widespread vectors of Fasciola hepatica, a globally distributed trematode that affects humans, livestock and wildlife.

Freshwater Snails at the Biodiversity-Climate-Health Nexus: A Call to Recognize Neglected Models for Eco-Evolutionary and One Health Research. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Freshwater snails occupy a unique position at the intersection of biodiversity, climate, and health. I argue that their ecological plasticity, reproductive diversity, and role as parasite hosts make them powerful yet overlooked model systems for integrating eco‐evolutionary dynamics with One Health challenges.

Clarifying the presence of Pseudosuccinea columella (Say, 1817) (Gastropoda: Hygrophila: Lymnaeidae) in Serbia [PDF]

Malacologica Bohemoslovaca
We report the first record of Pseudosuccinea columella (Say, 1817) from Serbia. This finding in the Tamiš River clarifies its presence in Serbia which was questioned in the 2021 checklist, as it was previously confused with succineid gastropods.

Distribution, abundance, population structures, and potential impacts of the invasive snail, Tarebia granifera in aquatic ecosystems of north-eastern South Africa. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The study investigates Tarebia granifera, a highly successful aquatic invader, in South Africa's Limpopo and Phongolo River systems. The study revealed that T. granifera dominates in habitats where it is present, negatively impacting native molluscan species. Interestingly, the study did not find significant correlations between T.

Invasive snails, parasite spillback, and potential parasite spillover drive parasitic diseases of Hippopotamus amphibius in artificial lakes of Zimbabwe [PDF]

BMC Biology, 2021
Background Humans impose a significant pressure on large herbivore populations, such as hippopotami, through hunting, poaching, and habitat destruction.

Spread of the fascioliasis endemic area assessed by seasonal follow-up of rDNA ITS-2 sequenced lymnaeid populations in Cajamarca, Peru [PDF]

One Health, 2021
Fascioliasis is a worldwide emerging snail-borne zoonotic trematodiasis with a great spreading capacity linked to animal and human movements, climate change, and anthropogenic modifications of freshwater environments.

The effect of spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) (Oscillatoriales: Cyanobacteria) on the experimental breeding of Pseudosuccinea columella (Basommatophora: Lymnaeidae)

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2015
Snails of the family Lymnaeidae, as Pseudosuccinea columella, are the intermediate hosts of Fasciola hepatica, the causative agent of fasciolosis in human and livestock all over the world. A thorough knowledge of snail biology is essential for describing
