First molecular characterization of Galba neotropica in Uruguay

FAVE Sección Ciencias Veterinarias, 2016
Until recently, it was believed that only two lymnaeid species (i.e. Galba viatrix and Pseudosuccinea columella) occurred in Uruguay. However, based on a molecular approach, an additional species Galba cubensis, was recently discovered.

Natural resistance to Fasciola hepatica (Trematoda) in Pseudosuccinea columella snails: A review from literature and insights from comparative “omic” analyses [PDF]

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2019
The snail Pseudosuccinea columella is one of the main vectors of the medically-important trematode Fasciola hepatica. In Cuba, the existence of natural P. columella populations that are either susceptible or resistant to F. hepatica infection offers a unique snail-parasite for study of parasite-host compatibility and immune function in gastropods. Here,

Presencia de Pseudosuccinea columella naturalmente infestada con Fasciola hepatica en Santo Tomé (Corrientes, Argentina)

Revista Veterinaria, 2008
La fasciolosis es una enfermedad producida por Fasciola hepatica. Esta parasitosis produce grandes pérdidas económicas en el ganado bovino de la Provincia de Corrientes, Argentina, y también tiene carácter zoonótico. En el norte de la Provincia, Pseudosuccinea columella es el caracol involucrado en la transmisión de la enfermedad.

First record of the freshwater snailPseudosuccinea columella(Gastropoda: Lymnaeidae) in southern Pampas (Argentina) and assessment of future spread

Molluscan Research, 2016
ABSTRACTThe freshwater snail Pseudosuccinea columella was recorded for the first time in Argentina more than 60 years ago. Since then its distribution in the wild has been restricted to the northeastern provinces. Here we record the presence of P. columella in southern Pampas for the first time, extending its distribution more than 500 km southwards ...
