BACKGROUND Infection with Ornithobilharzia turkestanicum has been reported in a wide range of animals worldwide. This study was undertaken to assess the utility of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for detecting the infection with O. turkestanicum larvae stages in Lymnaea gedrosiana. METHODS A total of 6,759 Lymnaeidae snails were collected from six aquatic habitats in West Azarbaijan, northwe...

background: trematodes are a diverse group of endoparasites which require molluscan and vertebrate animals as intermediate and definitive hosts in their life cycle. the present study was carried out to determine the diversity and geographic distribution of infection with trematodes’cercariae in the snail lymnaea gedrosiana from north-west iran. methods: a total number of 6759 lymnaeidae snails ...

following the occurrence of two large outbreaks in gilan province, northern iran, the public health importance of human fascioliasis has increased significantly. the mixed infections of fasciola gigantica and f. hepatica within a given domestic animal individual suggest a very complicate picture of possible circulation ways of the parasite and the possibility for humans to be infected with both...

BACKGROUND In this study the haemolymph components of infected and none infected Lymnaea gedrosiana with xiphidiocercaria larvae was compared. METHODS Five hundred Fifty Lymnaea snails were collected from Ilam and Mazandaran provinces, Iran, during 2008-2009. The snails were transported to the lab at Tehran University of Medical Sciences and their cercarial sheddings were studied. Haemolmyphs...

Introduction Lymnaea gedrosiana snails are hosts to a variety of trematode cercaria public and veterinary health importance. In Guilan Province, Iran, region with high level fish bird farming wetlands important for migratory birds, little is known about the from L. . Methods From April 2020 October 2021, six freshwater sites in Province were sampled Lymnaeidae three times per season (spring, su...
