Journal ArticleDOI
Biomphalaria alexandrina as a bioindicator of metal toxicity
Mohamed R. Habib,Azza H. Mohamed,Gamalat Y. Osman,Hanan S. Mossalem,Ahmed T. Sharaf El-Din,Roger P. Croll +5 more
TL;DR: The present study demonstrates B. alexandrina to be a sensitive bioindicator and model organism to assess heavy metals risk factors for severe toxicity in freshwater ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molluscicidal effectiveness of Luo-Wei, a novel plant-derived molluscicide, against Oncomelania hupensis, Biomphalaria alexandrina and Bulinus truncatus
Tie-Wu Jia,Wei Wang,Le-Ping Sun,Shan Lv,Kun Yang,Neng-Min Zhang,Xi-Bao Huang,Jian-Bing Liu,Han-Cheng Liu,Rui-Hua Liu,Fathia Gawish,Mohamed R. Habib,Mohamed A. El-Emam,Charles H. King,Charles H. King,Xiao-Nong Zhou +15 more
TL;DR: 4% TDS is active against O. hupensis, B. alexandrina and B. truncatus under laboratory and field conditions, and it may be a candidate molluscicide of plant origin.
Journal ArticleDOI
GABA-like immunoreactivity in Biomphalaria: Colocalization with tyrosine hydroxylase-like immunoreactivity in the feeding motor systems of panpulmonate snails.
Lee O. Vaasjo,Alexandra M. Quintana,Mohamed R. Habib,Paola Méndez de Jesus,Roger P. Croll,Mark W. Miller +5 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that colocalization of the classical neurotransmitters GABA and DA in feeding central pattern generator (CPG) interneurons preceded the divergence of euopisthobranch and panpulmonate taxa, and support the hypothesis that heterogastropod feeding CPG networks exhibit a common universal design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Histamine Immunoreactive Elements in the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems of the Snail, Biomphalaria spp., Intermediate Host for Schistosoma mansoni.
Mohamed R. Habib,Azza H. Mohamed,Gamalat Y. Osman,Ahmed T. Sharaf El-Din,Hanan S. Mossalem,Nadia Delgado,Grace Torres,Solymar Rolón-Martínez,Mark W. Miller,Roger P. Croll +9 more
TL;DR: This study shows that histamine is an abundant transmitter in these snails and its distribution suggest involvement in numerous neural circuits, and provides a foundation for understanding potential roles for histamine in interactions between the snail hosts and their trematode parasites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytochemical analysis of Eucalyptus camaldulensis leaves extracts and testing its antimicrobial and schistosomicidal activities
TL;DR: Ethyl acetate extract from Eucalyptus camaldulensis leaves showed a potent antimicrobial and antischistosomal activity and can be good candidates for treatment of microbes and for the control of schistosomiasis.
