The South-American distribution and southernmost record of Biomphalaria peregrina - a potential intermediate host of schistosomiasis

2017-04-19

Abstract excerpt

Schistosomiasis remains a major parasitic disease, endemic in large parts of South America. Five neotropical species of Biomphalaria have been found to act as intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni in natural populations, while others have been shown to be susceptible in experimental infections, although not found infected in the field. Among these potential intermediate hosts, Biomphalaria peregrina represents...
