Bulinus snails in the Lake Victoria Basin in Kenya: Systematics and their role as hosts for schistosomes.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
The planorbid gastropod genus Bulinus consists of 38 species that vary in their ability to vector Schistosoma haematobium (the causative agent of human urogenital schistosomiasis), other Schistosoma species, and non-schistosome trematodes.

Identification of Bulinus forskalii as a potential intermediate host of Schistosoma hæmatobium in Senegal.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
Understanding the transmission of Schistosoma hæmatobium in the Senegal River Delta requires knowledge of the snails serving as intermediate hosts. Accurate identification of both the snails and the infecting Schistosoma species is therefore essential ...
