In South America, Pseudosuccinea columella, Galba cubensis, schirazensis, and truncatula snails serve as vectors of Fasciola hepatica, posing major challenges to public animal health. This study identified environmentally suitable areas for these species using ecological niche models, including Maxent, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine. Occurrence points (n = 797) were compiled from the international literature (PRISMA protocol) malacological collection FIOCRUZ Institute, Rio de Janeiro,...
Fasciolosis is a re-emergent parasitic disease of worldwide significance with major global impact on livestock health and production. In the French Mediterranean island Corsica, fasciolosis has been recognized for long time but little known about its dynamic as main investigations are outdated. Three compartments - definitive domestic hosts, intermediate hosts environment involved in transmission were studied by applying an integrative extensive approach: (1) farm abattoir surveys, (2) snail...
Abstract Fasciolosis is a snail-borne disease, causing serious public and veterinary health problems worldwide. This disease produced by infection with Fasciola hepatica or gigantica through the consumption of vegetables water contaminated parasite's metacercarial cysts. Both species liver flukes are transmitted worldwide small freshwater snails family Lymnaeidae. A global account on that actually may act as potential hosts spp., compiling particular research their geographical distribution...
We studied the population genetic structure of freshwater snail Galba schirazensis (Küster, 1862), a potential vector infectious diseases such as fascioliasis. has now worldwide distribution but poorly known origin because this species been distinguished only recently from morphologically similar and cosmopolitan truncatula (O.F. Müller, 1774). developed specific microsatellite markers sequenced mitochondrial gene (cytochrome oxidase subunit I (CO1)) to study individuals G. Old World New...
Abstract Larval trematodes infecting the snail Heleobia australis (Cochliopidae) from Bahía Blanca estuary, Argentina were surveyed for two years. A total of 7,504 specimens was dissected and larval stages 15 different recovered examined morphologically. These larvae included four species that had previously been reported H. in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina: heterophyid Ascocotyle (Phagicola) longa microphallids, Maritrema bonaerense, orensense, Microphallus simillimus. Three other species,...
The freshwater snail Galba cubensis (Pfeiffer, 1839) has a large distribution in the Americas. Despite being an intermediate host of Fasciola hepatica—the trematode causing fasciolosis livestock and humans—its population genetics have never been studied. We isolated characterized 15 microsatellite loci G. to evaluate its genetic diversity, population-genetic structure mating system. tested 359 individuals from 13 populations Cuba, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia...

Fasciolosis is a worldwide spread parasitosis mainly caused by the trematode Fasciola hepatica. This disease particularly important for public health in tropical regions, but it can also affect economies of many developed countries due to large infections domestic animals. Although several studies have tried understand transmission studying prevalence different host species, only few used population genetic approaches links between and wildlife infections. Here, we present results such...
Five species of digeneans (4 Microphallidae, 1 Echinostomatidae) were recovered from a total 85 Olrog's gulls, Larus atlanticus (dead chicks). Birds collected breeding colony in the Bahía Blanca estuary, Argentina, during seasons 2003 (n = 6), 2005 66), and 2006 13). Digeneans identified as Maritrema bonaerensis, orensensis, Odhneria odhneri, Levinseniella cruzi, Himasthla escamosa. Except for M. all other helminth represent new host records, reported constitute locality records. Likely...
Epibionts and parasites were recovered from the grapsid crabs Cyrtograpsus angulatus Neohelice granulata in Bahía Blanca estuary, Argentina. Among epibionts, we identified a filamentous bacterium, protozoan Epistylis sp., copepod Neocancrincola platensis on gills; barnacles Balanus amphitrite glandula as well bryozoan Conopeum reticulum caparace. endoparasites, acanthocephalan Profilicollis chasmagnathi hindgut, nematodes of subfamily Acuariinae Ascarophis sp. haemocoel, an encysted...
Parasites with complex life cycles engaging multiple host species living among different environments well-exemplify the value of a cross-cutting One Health approach to understanding fundamental concerns like disease emergence or spread. Here we provide new information regarding pathogenic schistosome trematode parasite both wild and domestic mammals that has recently expanded its known range from mesic/wet southeastern United States arid southwest. In 2018, 12 dogs near man-made pond in...
We elucidate the life cycle of Maritrema orensense for first time and experimentally confirm that sympatric bonaerense. In Argentinean estuaries, both species parasitize cochliopid snail Heleobia australis as intermediate host, grapsid crabs Neohelice granulata Cyrtograpsus angulatus second hosts, gulls definitive hosts. Here, we describe daughter sporocysts cercariae M. redescribe these stages Sporocysts are shorter, with fewer developed than The have longer, larger, more undulating...
