Neotropical schistosomiasis: African affinities of the host snail Biomphalaria glabrata (Gastropoda: Planorbidae)

1997-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Schistosoma mansoni, the blood fluke responsible for human intestinal schistosomiasis in the Neotropics, was imported repeatedly with African slaves during the period 1500–1800. This trematode, and its intermediate host snails of the genus Biomphalaria, are widely distributed across Africa and the disease is thought to have quickly become established in South America and the West Indies because of the presence of...
