The Involvement of MGF505 Genes in the Long-Term Persistence of the African Swine Fever Virus in Gastropods [PDF]

Viruses
African swine fever virus (ASFV), a highly contagious and lethal virus affecting domestic and wild pigs, has raised global concerns due to its continued spread across Europe and Asia.

Salinity and temperature tolerance of the invasive freshwater gastropod Tarebia granifera

South African Journal of Science, 2010
Invasive aquatic species, such as the gastropod Tarebia granifera, can cause ecological isturbances and potentially reduce biodiversity by displacing indigenous invertebrates. In South Africa, T.

One Health monitoring reveals invasive freshwater snail species, new records, and undescribed parasite diversity in Zimbabwe [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Snail-borne trematodes afflict humans, livestock, and wildlife. Recognizing their zoonotic potential and possible hybridization, a One Health approach is essential for effective control.

Vectors and Spatial Patterns of Angiostrongylus cantonensis in Selected Rice-Farming Villages of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res, 2016
In the Philippines, rats and snails abound in agricultural areas as pests and source of food for some of the local people which poses risks of parasite transmission to humans such as Angiostrongylus cantonensis. This study was conducted to determine the extent of A.

Biodiversity census of Lake St Lucia, iSimangaliso Wetland Park (South Africa): Gastropod molluscs [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2014
The recent dry phase experienced by the St Lucia estuarine system has led to unprecedented desiccation and hypersaline conditions through most of its surface area. This has changed only recently, at the end of 2011, with the onset of a new wet phase that

Identifying potential emerging invasive non‐native species from the freshwater pet trade

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1948-1961, December 2023., 2023
Abstract An increasingly globalised world has facilitated the movement of non‐native species (NNS) via the poorly regulated international pet trade. While focus is increasingly being placed on preventative action to combat invasive NNS—often cheaper and less difficult than the management of established populations—successful prevention requires ...

Dietary diversity of multiple shorebird species in an Asian subtropical wetland unveiled by DNA metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1381-1396, November 2022., 2022
Despite previous studies that analyzed the foraging niches of shorebirds worldwide, the dietary niche dynamics of shorebirds coexisting in Asia are very poorly known. This study is therefore the early few that aim to unveil the trophic organization of shorebirds in a subtropical wetland within the EAAF.

Stay in shape: Assessing the adaptive potential of shell morphology and its sensitivity to temperature in the invasive New Zealand mud snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum through phenotypic plasticity and natural selection in Europe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
In invasive populations of the New Zealand Mud Snail in Europe shell morphology, which is fitness relevant, is sensitive to temperature. The genetic variation underlying size and shape is very limited. As temperature is obviously not the sole factor influencing shell morphology, their interaction will probably not be a factor limiting population ...

Niche filtering, competition and species turnover in a metacommunity of freshwater molluscs

Oikos, Volume 2022, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Metacommunity structure reflects the interplay of various processes, including niche filtering, extinction/colonization and interspecific interactions. Spatial patterns of species distributions are often analyzed to infer these processes. However, such inferences rely on often unrealistic equilibrium assumptions, and remain ambiguous, as different ...

Diversity of Land and Freshwater Snail (Mollusca: Gastropoda) of Laiwangi Wanggameti National Park, Sumba Island, Indonesia

Jurnal Biodjati, 2021
A study on the malacofauna of Laiwangi Wanggameti National Park (LWNP) in Sumba Island has been conducted. This study aims were to reveal the diversity of malacofauna in Sumba and compare it with those in the Lesser Sunda Islands.
