Effects of Snail Density on Growth, Reproduction and Survival of Biomphalaria alexandrina Exposed to Schistosoma mansoni
The effects of snail density on Biomphalaria alexandrina parasitized with Schistosoma mansoni were investigated. Laboratory experiments were used to quantify the impact of high density on snail growth, fecundity, and survival. Density-dependent birth rates of snails were determined to inform mathematical models, which, until now, have assumed a linear relationship between density and fecundity....
متن کاملInheritance of Schistosoma mansoni infection incompatibility in Biomphalaria alexandrina snails.
In this study, we looked at the inheritance of susceptibility and resistance to Schistosoma mansoni infection in the first generation of crossbred Biomphalaria alexandrina snails. Our ultimate goal is to use such information to develop a biological method of controlling schistosomiasis. We infected laboratory-bred snails with S. mansoni miracidia and examined cercarial shedding to determine sus...
متن کاملA bacterial artificial chromosome library for Biomphalaria glabrata, intermediate snail host of Schistosoma mansoni.
To provide a novel resource for analysis of the genome of Biomphalaria glabrata, members of the international Biomphalaria glabrata Genome Initiative (http://biology.unm.edu/biomphalaria-genome.html), working with the Arizona Genomics Institute (AGI) and supported by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), produced a high quality bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library. The ...
متن کامل"Comparative Studies on the Susceptible and Non-Susceptible Biomphalaria alexandrina the Intermediate Snail Host of Schistosoma mansoni in Western Saudi Arabia"
Schistosomiasis is an important parasitic disease that infects humans. Among the main species of schistosomes infecting humans is Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium. Snails of various genera, such as Biomphalaria alexandrina and Bulinus truncates, act as intermediate hosts and play a major role in the transmission of schistosomes. Transmission from human to snail is under the influence of t...
متن کاملHistamine Immunoreactive Elements in the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems of the Snail, Biomphalaria spp., Intermediate Host for Schistosoma mansoni
Histamine appears to be an important transmitter throughout the Animal Kingdom. Gastropods, in particular, have been used in numerous studies establishing potential roles for this biogenic amine in the nervous system and showing its involvement in the generation of diverse behaviours. And yet, the distribution of histamine has only previously been described in a small number of molluscan specie...
