Toxicity of Metals to a Freshwater Snail, Melanoides tuberculata
Adult freshwater snails Melanoides tuberculata (Gastropod, Thiaridae) were exposed for a four-day period in laboratory conditions to a range of copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), aluminium (Al), and manganese (Mn) concentrations. Mortality was assessed and median lethal times (LT₅₀) and concentrations (LC₅₀) were calculated. LT₅₀ and LC₅₀ increased with the...
متن کاملA Faunistic Survey of Cercariae Isolated from Melanoides tuberculata and Their Role in Transmission Diseases.
To funistic survey of the cercariae of Melanoides tuberulata (fresh water snail) 1540 M.tuberculata were collected from various streams, swamps, ditches and canals in the central area of Khouzestan province in the south west of Iran. Infected snails, 46 (2.9%), were isolated and cercariae were obtained by emerging or crushing methods and then measuring and drawing were made from specimens. In s...
متن کاملMelanoides tuberculata as intermediate host of Philophthalmus gralli in Brazil.
Melanoides tuberculata that naturally harbored trematode larvae were collected at the Pampulha dam, Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais, Brazil), during malacological surveys conducted from 2006 to 2010. From 7,164 specimens of M. tuberculata collected, 25 (0.35%) were infected by cercariae, which have been morphologically characterized as belonging to the Megalurous group, genus Philophthalmus. Excys...
متن کاملHybridization and invasiveness in the freshwater snail Melanoides tuberculata: hybrid vigour is more important than increase in genetic variance.
Many invasive taxa are hybrids, but how hybridization boosts the invasive process remains poorly known. We address this question in the clonal freshwater snail Melanoides tuberculata from Martinique, using three parental and two hybrid lines. We combine an extensive field survey (1990-2003) and a quantitative genetic experiment to show that hybrid lines have outcompeted their parents in natural...
متن کاملFishborne Zoonotic Trematodes Transmitted by Melanoides tuberculata Snails, Peru
We investigated the transmission of the fishborne trematodes Centrocestus formosanus and Haplorchis pumilio by Melanoides tuberculata snails in Peru. We report on results of experimental, morphological, and molecular approaches and discuss the potential risk for future human cases, given the existence of food habits in the country involving the ingestion of raw fish.
