Molecular identification of similar species of the genus Biomphalaria (Mollusca: Planorbidae) determined by a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1998
The freshwater snails Biomphalaria straminea, B. intermedia, B. kuhniana and B. peregrina, are morphologically similar; based on this similarity the first three species were therefore grouped in the complex B. straminea.

Molecular detection of Schistosoma japonicum in infected snails and mouse faeces using a real-time PCR assay with FRET hybridisation probes

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011
A real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay with fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) hybridisation probes combined with melting curve analysis was developed to detect Schistosoma japonicum in experimentally infected snails and in faecal ...

Analysis of the first and second internal transcribed spacer sequences of the ribosomal DNA in Biomphalaria tenagophila complex (Mollusca: Planorbidae)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2004
The first and second internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS1 and ITS2) of the ribosomal DNA of Biomphalaria tenagophila complex (B. tenagophila, B. occidentalis, and B. t. guaibensis) were sequenced and compared.

Field-derived Schistosoma mansoni and Biomphalaria pfeifferi in Kenya: a compatible association characterized by lack of strong local adaptation, and presence of some snails able to persistently produce cercariae for over a year

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
BackgroundSchistosoma mansoni is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa with Biomphalaria pfeifferi being its most widespread and important snail intermediate host. Few studies have examined the compatibility of field-derived B. pfeifferi snails with S.

EFFECT OF CHANGES IN RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURE ON REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE AND EGG HATCHABILITY OF AFRICAN GIANT LAND SNAILS (ARCHACHATINA MARGINATA) REARED UNDER INTENSIVE MANAGEMENT DURING DRY SEASON [PDF]

Acta Scientifica Malaysia
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of relative humidity and temperature on egg production and hatchability. Forty-eight growing African Giant Land Snails (Archachatina marginata) between average weight of 400 to 600 grams were used ...
