Abstract. Purnama MF, Salwiyah. 2022. Short Communication: Invasive mollusks Melanoides tuberculata, and Achatina fulica in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 4770-4774. Sulawesi Province has natural/artificial inland waters for various usages. For example, freshwater supported activities such as agriculture, plantations, fisheries, ecotourism. This study reports the presence of invasive mollusk (Melanoides tuberculata) terrestrial (Achatina fulica) habitats. is first report regarding spatial distribution three species All administrative areas (17 districts/cities) province were invaded by A. 16 districts/cities M. tuberculata. These are a severe threat to preservation native human health because they an intermediate host several types parasites, trematode group. The spreading rapid development these caused their reproductive ability resistance poor environmental quality airborne dispersal factors birds, water flow, commercial activities. can directly cause huge economic losses become pest agricultural activities, fisheries (aquaculture). They also transmit pathogens displacement species. Therefore, it recommended have preventive effort tackle expansion IAS Sulawesi.

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...

Melanoides 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...

Giant African snail, Achatina fulica, as a snail predator

Individuals of Achatina fulica (Bowdich, 1822) were observed preying on veronicellid slugs at two sites on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. As such, the presence of A. fulica may pose a greater threat to terrestrial mollusc conservation than previously imagined. It is our hope that this note provides some impetus for other researchers to explore the possible predation impacts of introduced populatio...

Fishborne 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.

Malaria in North Sulawesi, Indonesia

The incidence and impact of malaria in North Sulawesi have declined both in the short term during the 1990s, and over a much longer timespan (though perhaps less continuously) since the end of the colonial period. The improvement already seems to have been well underway before deliberate vector control activities became extensive in the second half of the 1970s, and environmental changes affect...
