Schistosomiasis is endemic in 78 countries belonging to tropical and subtropical areas. However, autochthonous transmission of urogenital schistosomiasis was reported Corsica (France) 2013. We present evidence Almería (Spain) 2003.Description the outbreak farmers subsequent epidemiological studies aimed at searching for Bulinus snails their genotypic characteristics.The affected 4 out a group 5 people who repeatedly bathed that summer an irrigation pool area.

Species discovery and validation methods were used to delimit the species of a cryptic complex. boundaries inferred from multiple lines evidence arising mitochondrial nuclear DNA sequencing ecological niche modelling. Phylogenetic relationships among assessed by Bayesian inference maximum‐likelihood procedures. The approach was applied terrestrial gastropod genus Pyramidula . By examining 211 specimens collected Western Palaearctic region, we here identified nine putative for this region. So...
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is the main etiological agent of eosinophilic meningitis, a disease that often leads to severe neurological manifestations in mammals and birds. In recent years, prevalence this zoonotic nematode has dramatically increased as it expands into new territories beyond its native range Southeast Asia Pacific Basin.Its arrival Europe, last continent be invaded, raised many questions concerning parasite's life cycle, particularly Mediterranean region, where now endemic....
Despite the ubiquity of terrestrial gastropods in Late Pleistocene and Holocene archaeological record, it is still unknown when how this type invertebrate resource was incorporated into human diets. In paper, we report oldest evidence land snail exploitation as a food Europe dated to 31.3-26.9 ka yr cal BP from recently discovered site Cova de la Barriada (eastern Iberian Peninsula). Mono-specific accumulations large Iberus alonensis snails (Ferussac 1821) were found three different levels...

Dues noves localitzacions per a Espanya de Bulinus truncatus (Audouin, 1827) (Gastropoda, Planorbidae), hoste intermediari la Schistosomiasis urinaria Durant l’any 2014, els autors han trobat dues poblacions Espanya. En una, llacuna Villena (Alacant), que va ser dessecada al comencament del segle XIX, nomes hi van trobar conquilles, mentre l’altra, situada El Ejido (Almeria), milers d’exemplars vius. L’enclavament te un gran interes biogeografic perque enllaca les catalanes amb andaluses...
We present a geographical distribution map of Bulinus truncatus based on historical and current localities in Spain Portugal, that corresponds to the risk urogenital schistosomiasis for this freshwater snail. reviewed samples species deposited at Museu de Ciències Naturals Barcelona Museo Nacional Ciencias Naturales Madrid, together with our own data, including some unpublished contributions. This will help determine optimal area identify areas greatest two countries. emphasize global change...
This paper reports on eight scaphopod species found at 128 sampling stations near the coast of Valencia (Spain) during campaigns Water Framework Directive (2000/60/CE) 2005, 2006 and 2008. Samples deposited in several Valencian institutions private collections are also described. The identified belong to four families: Dentaliidae (Antalis dentalis, A. inaequicostata, novemcostata, vulgaris, caprottii n. sp., a new described from material coasts province Castellón), Fustiariidae (Fustiaria...
To determine the taxonomic identity of some species included in genus Iberus, we reviewed type series described by Rossmässler (1854) and deposited at Senckenberg Forschungsinstitut und Naturmuseum Frankfurt (Germany). We concluded that Helix alcarazana (currently Iberus alcarazanus) is a junior synonym alonensis (Férussac, 1821). The localities guiraoana were discussed modified lectotypes guiraoana, var. angustata, loxana designated. In addition, Férussac, 1821 alonensis) Muséum national...
We report a new Iberian hygromiid, Candidula corbellai n. sp., and describe its conchological anatomical characteristics. This species is compared with two other endemic species, camporroblensis C. rocandioi, which present similarities in the reproductive system, such as long flagellum. The shell of specimens type series these taxa. system sp. distinguished from by longer male part, although flagellum shorter than penis epiphallus together it has bursa copulatrix respect to duct, shorter....
We describe a new parmacellid, Drusia (Escutiella) alexantoni n. sp. from the Moroccan Atlantic coast. The species most closely related to taxon are D. (E.) deshayesii and (D.) valenciennii. parmacellid differs (E) mainly by presence of external spots bands on both back shield, reproductive system with uneven atrial appendices horn–shaped organ, different reticulated pattern inner epiphallus.

The journey of Prof. Emil A. Rossmässler in 1853 Spain and the type locality Iberus angustatus (Rossmässler, 1854) (Gastropoda, Helicidae) We have identified Helix Guiraoana var. angustata Rossmässler, 1854 as ‘located heights surrounding Venta del Molinillo near Sierra de los Dientes la Vieja, Diezma, Granada’, from description given by about his south east 1853. molecular analysis (COI 16S) a topotype collected live allowed us to confirm identification clade 4 genus proposed Elejalde et...
The small-vertebrates’ assemblage recovered comes from Units I to IV El Salt site (Alcoi, Spain). sample is composed by nearly 310 remains, and includes one toad (Epidalea calamita), two lizards (Lacertidae indet. Chalcides cf. bedriagai), snakes (Coronella girondica Coronella sp.), insectivores (Crocidura sp. Sorex lagomorph (Oryctolagus cuniculus) seven rodent taxa (Arvicola sapidus, Microtus sp., M. arvalis, cabrerae, duodecimcostatus, Apodemus sylvaticus, Eliomys quercinus). All the...
Publicar catalegs d'exemplars tipus es una recomanacio feta per la Comissio Internacional de Nomenclatura Zoologica, pero en el nostre cas publicacio del present cataleg ha estat abans tot consequencia practica d'assumir un sentit responsabilitat amb relacio a les col·leccions dels nostres museus. Quan tasca historica i recent tants investigadors s'ha traduit confianca dipositar especimens aquests centres no podem defugir l'obligacio, ni tampoc l'interes, publicar manera mes possible...
Karyological analysis was performed on Theodoxus baeticus (Lamarck, 1822), T. valentina (Graells, 1846), velascoi 1846) and fluviatilis (Linne, 1758), collected from freshwater bodies of eastern Spain. Cells possessing diploid chromosome numbers 2n 5 25 were most common in the tissues males, whilst 26 prevalent females. The sixth pair chromosomes had only one homologue mitotic cells indicating XO/XX sex-determining mechanism. absolute length ranged 1.65 to 6.33 mm. relative sizes varied 3.92...
Se recopilan las escasas citas bibliograficas disponibles de babosas terrestres en la Region Murcia (SE Espana) y se anaden los datos prospecciones propias. elabora una lista sistematica para resumir todas especies conocidas Murcia, con comentarios sobre mas significativas: Deroceras nitidum, Arion gilvus A. lusitanicus s. l.
espanolHelix montserratensis (actualmente Xerocrassa montserratensis) es un geomitrido iberico descrito por Hidalgo en 1870 Montserrat (Barcelona, Espana). Sobre la base de varios caracteres conquiologicos, se describieron dos taxones muy similares, como variedades este taxon: Helix betulonensis y otro menos nombrado, delicatula. Estas variedades, sobre todo betulonensis, han considerado subespecies X. montserratensis, aunque algunos autores las consideran especies diferentes, basandose los...
