The zebrafish, Danio rerio, is an important vertebrate model organism across various scientific disciplines. current study reports the nematode larva, Eustrongylides sp., presence, in zebrafish from a pet shop, acquired by Fundação Oswaldo Cruz for toxicity studies. Morphological and molecular data this are given herein, contributing to understanding of helminth aiding future occurrence larva demonstrates importance controlling management D. since fish widely used as experimental model.
BACKGROUND The nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which is endemic to Southeast Asia and adjacent Pacific Islands, has already been recorded in more than 30 countries, including Brazil other South American nations. It one of the principal etiological agents zoonosis Eosinophilic Meningitis (EoM), a number different species terrestrial gastropods that act as its intermediate hosts. OBJECTIVE present study investigated occurrence larvae this specimens molluscs collected half municipalities...
ABSTRACT The assimineid Solenomphala scalaris (Heude, 1882) is present in the interface between freshwater and terrestrial habitats. It was originally described from China, but it has been recently recorded Singapore Malaysia, addition to possible records Taiwan, Japan Elba, Italy. Sampling efforts four Brazilian states (Amazonas, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo Santa Catarina) since 2009 recovered specimens similar S. scalaris, always anthropic sites. shell, operculum, radula penis largely agree...
An ample variety of parasitic associations are found between mollusks and nematodes, in which the may act as intermediate, paratenic or definitive hosts. Some free-living particular those order Rhabditida, also frequently terrestrial mollusks. The present study reviews results parasitological testing on samples conducted at Brazilian National Reference Laboratory for Schistosomiasis Malacology 2008 2021. were supplied primarily by public health authorities from different regions Brazil, but...
Human neural angiostrongyliasis is an emerging infectious disease caused by nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis. The present study investigated the presence of spp. in terrestrial molluscs collected from following areas Metropolitan Region Aracaju, Sergipe State, Brazil: Barra dos Coqueiros, Nossa Senhora do Socorro, Sao Cristovao and Aracaju. In total, 703 specimens representing 13 mollusc species were screened for Larvae found three species. recovered Achatina fulica used experimental...
The life cycles of many parasitic nematodes include terrestrial gastropods as intermediate hosts. Over the past few decades, a number cases parasitism between molluscs and medically-important have been reported in Brazil, particular, those involving invasive giant African gastropod, Achatina fulica, zoonoses caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis costaricensis, etiological agents neuroangiostrongyliasis abdominal angiostrongyliasis, respectively. In present study, larvae found infecting A....
Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which causes the zoonosis Eosinophilic Meningitis (EM), has become increasingly widespread in Brazil. Terrestrial mollusks, especially exotic giant African snail Achatina fulica, have being found naturally infected with this nematode besides some few freshwater species. In study, we collected several terrestrial and one mollusks from five different localities city of Manaus, Brazilian Amazon Region. One hundred eighteen specimens nine species were obtained. all,...
Metastrongyloidea includes nematodes that parasitize mammals, mainly infecting their respiratory and cardiovascular systems, are responsible for emerging zoonosis in the world. Terrestrial mollusks main intermediate hosts, with few exceptions. Here we present results of a malacological survey to know distribution
Abstract Achatina fulica is a species native to East Africa, considered one of the 100 worst invasive alien in world. The present study investigated population snail, A. fulica, peri-urban area adjacent Fiocruz Atlantic Forest Biological Station (EFMA), Jacarepaguá, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, focusing on dynamics and nematodes associated with this species. To end, specimens were collected during four climatic seasons years 2021 2022 three fixed 20 m × 10 plots. abundance these areas was...
