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
Microsatellites and the Genetics of Highly Selfing Populations in the Freshwater Snail Bulinus truncatus
TL;DR: Examination of the consequences of selfing and bottlenecks on genetic polymorphism using microsatellite markers in 14 natural populations of the hermaphrodite freshwater snail Bulinus truncatus revealed an unexpectedly high levels of genetic variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary aspects of the metapopulation dynamics of Biomphalaria pfeifferi, the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni
Nathalie Charbonnel,Bernard Angers,Bernard Angers,R. Rasatavonjizay,Philippe Brémond,Philippe Jarne +5 more
TL;DR: This work focuses on the freshwater snail Biomphalaria pfeifferi, the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni, and indicates that host consanguinity may affect prevalence through the genetic mechanisms involved in resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of mating system, demography, parasites and colonization on the population structure of Biomphalaria pfeifferi in Madagascar.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied variation at 8 polymorphic microsatellite loci in 30 populations of Biomphalaria pfeifferi and found that extreme low variation was found within all populations studied, which may partly result from high selfing rates.
