TL;DR: It is confirmed that a proto-Biomphalaria glabrata gave rise to all African species through a trans-Atlantic colonization of Africa, and interesting patterns occur regarding schistosome susceptibility: the most susceptible hosts belong to a single clade, and several susceptible Neotropic species are sister groups to apparently refractory species, and some basal lineages are susceptible.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Schistosoma mansoni is the most widespread of the human-infecting schistosomes, present in 54 countries, predominantly in Africa, but also in Madagascar, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Neotropics as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The random amplification of polymorphic DNA allows the identification of strains and species of schistosome
Emmanuel Dias Neto,Cecília Pereira de Souza,David Rollinson,Naftale Katz,Sérgio D.J. Pena,Andrew J. G. Simpson +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) may be an extremely useful approach to the identification of schistosome strains and species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Possible competitive displacement of planorbids by Melanoides tuberculata in Minas Gerais, Brazil
TL;DR: Observations made over a period of 10 years in two lakes close to Belo Horizonte showed that there were marked reductions in autochthonous populations of B. glabrata and B. straminea after the arrival of M. tuberculata, both Biomphalaria species disappearing completely after eight years.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution of Biomphalaria spp. in different habitats in relation to physical, biological, water contact and cognitive factors in a rural area in Minas Gerais, Brazil

TL;DR: Suggestions are made for the utilization of local people's knowledge in snail surveys and further studies are recommended on the possible use of tilapia for biological control of Biomphalaria in fishponds, as well as modeling of S. mansoni transmission and reinfection.
