Observations on natural and experimental interactions between Schistosoma bovis and S. curassoni from West Africa.
TLDR
Viable hybrid parasites were produced in the laboratory and were maintained up until the F4 generation, Comparisons of egg morphology, surface structure of adult male worms and enzyme profiles have been made between experimental hybrid lines and field isolates.About:

Tine Huyse,Tine Huyse,Bonnie L. Webster,Sarah Geldof,J. Russell Stothard,Oumar T. Diaw,Katja Polman,David Rollinson +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, nuclear and mitochondrial markers revealed unexpected natural interactions between a bovine and human Schistosoma species: S. bovis and S. haematobium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introgressive Hybridization of Schistosoma haematobium Group Species in Senegal: Species Barrier Break Down between Ruminant and Human Schistosomes
TL;DR: These data provide indisputable evidence for: the high occurrence of bidirectional hybridization between these Schistosoma species; the first conclusive evidence for the natural hybridisation between S. haematobium and S. curassoni; and demonstrate that the transmission of the different species and their hybrids appears focal.
Journal ArticleDOI
A revision of the interrelationships of Schistosoma including the recently described Schistosoma guineensis.
TL;DR: This paper adds to previous phylogenetic studies on the family Schistosomatidae and offers the most up to date and robust phylogeny of the group based on complete small and large nuclear subunit rRNA genes and partial mitochondrial cox1, incorporating most of the 21 species of SchistOSoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybridization in Parasites: Consequences for Adaptive Evolution, Pathogenesis, and Public Health in a Changing World.
TL;DR: Hybridization of parasites is an emerging public health concern at the interface of infectious disease biology and evolution and can allow for heterospecific (between-species or between-lineage) mate pairings, resulting in parthenogenesis and whole-genome admixture.
Journal ArticleDOI
One health - an ecological and evolutionary framework for tackling Neglected Zoonotic Diseases.
TL;DR: The aim here is to highlight the importance of both elucidating disease ecology, including identifying key hosts and tailoring control effort accordingly, and understanding parasite evolution, such as precisely how infectious agents may respond and adapt to anthropogenic change.

Observations on Schistosoma bovis Sonsino, 1876
V. R. Southgate,R. J. Knowles +1 more
TL;DR: Differences in infectivity, growth rates, maturation times, egg production and tissue deposition of eggs in the different strains of S. bovis are recorded.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental taxonomy of Bulinus (Gastropoda: Planorbidae): the West and North African species reconsidered, based upon an electrophoretic study of several enzymes per individual
TL;DR: Horizontal starch gel electrophoresis was used to score mobilities of seven different enzymes in species of Bulinus from North and West Africa and it was suggested that enzymic data should be used as taxonomic characters in parallel with morphological and anatomical characters.
Journal Article
The epidemiology of human and animal schistosomiasis in the Senegal River Basin.
TL;DR: A snail survey in various parts of the Senegal River Basin, including the SenegalRiver Basin, temporary rain-fed pools, swamps, irrigation canals and drains, ricefields and Lac de Guier was carried out, finding Bulinus guernei was the most common, occurring in permanent habitats, and Bulinus senegalensis occurring in laterite pools in the eastern part of the Middle Valley.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymes in Schistosoma intercalatum and the relative status of the Lower Guinea and Zaire strains of the parasite.
TL;DR: It is concluded that any definite decision on the relative status of the two strains of S. intercalatum is still premature, in the light of what is known about other species of African Schistosoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the biology and transmission ecology of African bovine species of the genus Schistosoma.
TL;DR: It is finally concluded that the increasing water conservation and changing methods of husbandry may result in bovine schistosomiasis becoming a major veterinary problem in Africa.
