The characteristics of copulation in Segmentina oelandica (Westerlund, 1885) (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Planorbidae)

Genetic markers from Biomphalaria tenagophila (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Planorbidae) obtained by the double stringency polymerase chain reaction technique.

Biomphalaria tenagophila, one of the intermediate hosts of the trematoda Schistosoma mansoni, is a simultaneous hermafrodite snail species. In order to analyse the genetic structure of these populations, we performed a double-stringency PCR technique to obtain genetic markers with microsatellites and arbitrary primers in a single reaction.

Preliminary Study on Aquatic Snail Species of Bulinus globosus (Morelet, 1866) (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Planorbidae) from Nankumba Peninsula, Cape Maclear Island, South-East Arm of Lake Malawi

The present investigation of shallow-water gastropod Bulinus globosus is reported on nearshore sites in and around Cape Maclear on the northwestern part of the Nankumba Peninsula, Lake Malawi (part of Lake Malawi National Park) at a depth of 10 M. The present remark focuses on the geographical distribution and habitats of this group and sample have observed in Cape Maclear Island, Republic of M...

Habitat Characteristics and Conservation of the Genus Ashmunella (gastropoda: Pulmonata: Polygyridae) of White Sands Missile Range (nm and Tx)

The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Galba pervia (Gastropoda: Mollusca), an Intermediate Host Snail of Fasciola spp

Complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes and the gene rearrangements are increasingly used as molecular markers for investigating phylogenetic relationships. Contributing to the complete mt genomes of Gastropoda, especially Pulmonata, we determined the mt genome of the freshwater snail Galba pervia, which is an important intermediate host for Fasciola spp. in China. The complete mt genome of G. perv...
