Multiple invasions and predation: The impact of the crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus on invasive and native snails. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated predator–prey interactions involving Thiarid snails that invaded Martinique several decades ago and the recently introduced predator, the redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus), unveiling several critical insights: (1) Crayfish predation impact on snail survival: Our experiments indicate snail survival rates ranging from 50% to 80 ...

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Malacological and parasitological studies were conducted from April 2020 to March 2021 to determine the abundance and distribution of molluscs and cercariae of Schistosoma spp and Fasciola gigantica. Collected molluscs are exposed to strong light to induce cercarial release. Mollusc densities were higher at station 1 (Gamak) than in station 8 (Patakai),

Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2089-2099, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Freshwater molluscs are hosts for diverse metazoan symbionts. However, apart from the digenean helminths, symbionts of molluscs are underreported worldwide. Therefore, this study focused on the diversity of oligochaetes, leeches, mites, insect larvae and nematodes associated with gastropods and bivalves from Lake Victoria, East Africa. Overall,

Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 10, Page 1725-1738, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Climate change is expected to alter rainfall and temperature regimes across the world. The hydrology and riparian zone vegetation of lotic ecosystems are tightly linked to rainfall and a mechanistic understanding of the effects of rainfall on lotic ecosystems is needed to forecast the ecological impacts of climate change.

White spot syndrome virus host range and impact on transmission
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1843-1860, September 2022., 2022 Abstract White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the etiological agent of white spot disease (WSD), is a significant pathogen affecting shrimp farming industry worldwide. White spot syndrome virus is a generalist virus mainly infecting decapod crustaceans. The aims of this review were to: (1) Re‐evaluate and update the status of reported WSSV host and vector
