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...
The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes schistosomiasis as one of the Neglected Tropical Diseases targeted for global elimination in 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals. In Brazil, mansoni is considered a public health problem, particularly prevalent among vulnerable populations living areas with poor environmental and sanitary conditions. 2022, WHO published Guideline encompassing recommendations to assist national programs endemic countries achieving morbidity control,...
Introduction: The Baixada Maranhense Microregion currently has the highest prevalence of schistosomiasis in State Maranhão, likely because this parasitosis is characterized as an occupational disease, and increased contact with water increases risk infection by Schistosoma mansoni. This paper reports results first comprehensive freshwater malacological survey performed Microregion. Methods: Freshwater mollusks were collected from twenty-one municipalities Bacurituba Cajapió evaluated for...
Introduction Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease of public health concern in Brazil, and the construction hydroelectric dams, addition to increasing permanent human settlement tourism, has created conditions suitable for establishment mollusks that can transmit schistosomiasis. Such areas require number actions prevent This paper reports on freshwater malacological survey carried out geographical area Manso Power Plant. Methods Mollusks were collected 18 municipalities State Mato Grosso...

A survey for freshwater gastropods carrying trematodes parasites was conducted in Manso Dam and the surrounding areas frequented by tourist, focusing particularly on Pantanal region. Infected snails were recovered from twelve of eighteen investigated municipalities forty-one cercaria-snail pairings recorded. Among these several first records serving as intermediate hosts Brazil including Biomphalaria amazônica Paraense, 1966, occidentalis 1981, Marisa planogyra Pilsbry, 1933, Pomacea...
In this paper, the forth of a series dealing with survey freshwater gastropods state Rio de Janeiro, results collections carried out in Sul Fluminense Mesoregion from 2000 to 2002 are presented and revealed occurrence 18 species: Antillorbis nordestensis; Biomphalaria glabrata; peregrina; straminea; tenagophila; Drepanotrema anatinum; cimex; lucidum; Ferrissia sp.; Gundlachia ticaga; Heleobia Lymnaea columella; Melanoides tuberculatus; Physa acuta; marmorata; Pomacea sordida sp.

During the course of a survey carried out from 2000 to 2001 in Centro Fluminense Mesoregion State Rio de Janeiro 22 molluscan species were found. Many records are new due dearth previous studies. Concerning snail hosts Schistosoma mansoni, most frequently encountered was Biomphalaria tenagophila, as it occurred all surveyed municipalities. There straminea and peregrina which is regarded potential intermediate host. Drepanotrema lucidum Antillorbis nordestensis found be shedding echinostome...
In this paper, the last of a series dealing with survey freshwater gastropods state Rio de Janeiro, results collections carried out in Noroeste Fluminense Mesoregion from 2002 to 2005 are presented and revealed occurrence 20 species: Antillorbis nordestensis; Biomphalaria glabrata; B. straminea; tenagophila; Drepanotrema anatinum; D. cimex; depressissimum; lucidum; Ferrissia sp.; Gundlachia ticaga; Heleobia Idiopyrgus Lymnaea columella; Melanoides tuberculatus; Physa acuta; P. marmorata;...
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,...
Urban parks are not only important for the wellbeing of human population, but also widely considered to be potentially sites conservation biodiversity. However, they may offer risk parasitic infections, such as schistosomiasis and fascioliasis, which both transmitted by freshwater snails. The present study investigated occurrence gastropods in urban Brazilian city Rio de Janeiro, their possible infection helminths medical-veterinary importance. Gastropods were collected from six (2021 -...
