The Relationship Between Parafossarulus Manchouricus, the Snail [Jpn. J. Parasitol., Vol. 44, No. 2,95-105, April, 1995] The Relationship between Parafossarulus manchouricus, the Snail Host of Clonorchis sinensis, and Water Qualities During the Growth Season in Okayama Prefecture, Japan FUMIO OHYAMA, Tetsuya OKINO, Motota SHIMIZU AND Ryo HATSUSHIKA (Accepted for publication; February 28, 1995) Abstract The relationship between the distribution, abundance, productivity, growth of Parafossarulus manchouricus, the snail host of Clonorchis sinensis and water qualities; water tempeature (WT), hydrogen ion concentration (pH), dissolved oxygen (DO), calcium (Ca) and chlorinity (Chi), were surveyed at 20 stations of 6 areas in Okayama Prefecture, Japan during the growth season from July to September in 1991. Two types of analysis were applied to the water quality parameters retroactively treated from the time of snail examination in September. One was comparative analysis of the water quality parameters at snail positive (+) and negative (-) places; Ca and Chi at snail (+) areas were significantly higher than those at (-) areas and no difference was found in WT, pH and DO, but within snail (+) areas differences of Ca and Chi between snail (+) and (-) stations were not significant. The other was correlation analysis between water quality parameters and snail param eters; abundance, productivity and growth at snail (+) stations: WT correlated with productivity (^=0.63-0.82) and weakly correlated with abundance and growth; pH weakly correlated with abundance, productivity and growth; DO weakly correlated with abundance and productivity; Chi correlated with abundance (r5=0.77-l .00) and productivity (rs=0.11-0.96). The correlations between WT, pH and DO in water samples suggest that the snail (+) stations were strongly affected by photosynthetic organisms. The effect of WT to the snail might be not only direct one but also indirect one through the richness of foods. The effect of Chi might also be indirect through the foods. The correlations between snail and pH, DO might be the reflection of the photosynthetic activity by the aquatic organisms which would supply foods for the snail. No correlation with Ca might be showed by the masking by other strongly correlated factors or by the too narrow range of Ca measurements to show the correlation. Key words: Parafossarulus manchouricus, snail host, Clonorchis sinensis, water quality, growth season Introduction Soh etal. (1980) and Miyasaka (1983), but not have been discussed well. One possible reason for this is Parafossarulus manchouricus, the snail host of that there were few studies on the breeding season Chinese liver fluke, still widely distributes in strongly affecting the existence of snail. Another southern Okayama in Japan (Nagahana et al., 1978) reason may be that the most of studies were based on and the life cycle of Clonorchis sinensis in Okayama presence/absence study which was not necessarily completes through the reservoir hosts though the to uncover the relationship between water quality human route is very rare (Nagahana et al, 1980, and the snail as mentiond by Dussart (1979). 1984; Hatsushikae/a/., 1986). In the present study, the snail and the water On water quality at the habitat of this snail there quality were examined during the growth season have been many reports by Inatomi (1953), Sugihara which will strongly affect the population and growth et al (1961), Sugihara (1964a, b, c), Min (1975), of this species.

Furthermore we adopt the analysis by the retro- 96 active treatment for the data of water quality, which done from 15 July to 21 September 1991 with an made the analysis of water qualities possible from exception of rainy days (Figs. 1,2). Each series of the time of last snail measurement to 2 months the sampling was performed within 5 hrs around before. We were thus able to obtain more reliable 1:00 PM to avoid diurnal fluctuation except the results than that from the only one series of water cases with snail collections. And in order not to be measurement at the snail habitats by the ordinary sampled at the fixed time in a day, the sampling method used by previous workers (Sugihara, 1964a, order among 6 areas was randomized in each series b, c; Sugihara et al.9 1961; Min, 1975; Miyasaka, as much as possible with trading-off the shortening 1983).

    Tang et al. Infectious Diseases of Poverty (2016) 5:71 DOI 10.1186/s40249-016-0166-1 SCOPINGREVIEW Open Access Current status and perspectives of Clonorchis sinensis and clonorchiasis: epidemiology, pathogenesis, omics, prevention and control Ze-Li Tang1,2, Yan Huang1,2 and Xin-Bing Yu1,2* Abstract Clonorchiasis, caused by Clonorchis sinensis (C. sinensis), is an important food-borne parasitic disease and one of the most common zoonoses. Currently, it is estimated that more than 200 million people are at risk of C. sinensis infection, and over 15 million are infected worldwide. C. sinensis infection is closely related to cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), fibrosis and other human hepatobiliary diseases; thus, clonorchiasis is a serious public health problem in endemic areas. This article reviews the current knowledge regarding the epidemiology, disease burden and treatment of clonorchiasis as well as summarizes the techniques for detecting C. sinensis infection in humans and intermediate hosts and vaccine development against clonorchiasis. Newer data regarding the pathogenesis of clonorchiasis and the genome, transcriptome and secretome of C. sinensis are collected, thus providing perspectives for future studies. These advances in research will aid the development of innovative strategies for the prevention and control of clonorchiasis.

Pronocephaloid cercariae (Platyhelminthes: Trematoda) from gastropods of the Queensland coast, Australia. Thomas H. Cribb1, Phoebe A. Chapman2, Scott C. Cutmore1 and Daniel C. Huston3 1 School of Biological Sciences, The University of Queensland, St. Lucia, QLD 4072, Australia. 2 Veterinary-Marine Animal Research, Teaching and Investigation, School of Veterinary Science, The University of Queensland, Gatton, QLD 4343, Australia. 3Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, The University of Tasmania, Hobart, TAS 7001, Australia. Running head: Queensland pronocephaloid cercariae. Author for correspondence: D.C. Huston, Email: [email protected]. 1 Abstract The superfamily Pronocephaloidea Looss, 1899 comprises digeneans occurring in the gut and respiratory organs of fishes, turtles, marine iguanas, birds and mammals. Although many life cycles are known for species of the Notocotylidae Lühe, 1909 maturing in birds and mammals, relatively few are known for the remaining pronocephaloid lineages. We report the cercariae of five pronocephaloid species from marine gastropods of the Queensland coast, Australia. From Lizard Island, northern Great Barrier Reef, we report three cercariae, two from Rhinoclavis vertagus (Cerithiidae) and one from Nassarius coronatus (Nassariidae). From Moreton Bay, southern Queensland, an additional two cercariae are reported from two genotypes of the gastropod worm shell Thylacodes sp. (Vermetidae). Phylogenetic analysis using 28S rRNA gene sequences shows all five species are nested within the Pronocephaloidea, but not matching or particularly close to any previously sequenced taxon. In combination, phylogenetic and ecological evidence suggests that most of these species will prove to be pronocephalids parasitic in marine turtles.

  • Reproductive Aspects of the Poorly Known and Critically Endangered Freshwater Snail Heleobia Atacamensis (Gastropoda: Truncatelloidea)
    Reproductive aspects of the poorly known and critically endangered freshwater snail Heleobia atacamensis (Gastropoda: Truncatelloidea) Gonzalo A. Collado1, Elizabeth Chihuailaf2, Natalia Muñoz-Herrera2, Manuel Contreras2, Fernando Novoa2 and Moisés A. Valladares1 1 Departamento de Ciencias Básicas, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad del Bío-Bío, Chillán, Chile 2 Centro de Ecología Aplicada, Santiago, Chile ABSTRACT Knowing the reproductive biology of threatened species is essential for conservation and to establish proper management plans. Heleobia atacamensis, a freshwater snail only known from two locations in the Atacama Saltpan, northern Chile, is currently classified as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List and Critically Endangered by the Ministerio del Medio Ambiente of Chile. Based on size-frequency distribution, multivariate analysis of shell measurements, and microdissections, we studied the reproductive strategy, recruitment period, sex ratio and sexual dimorphism in this species. Heleobia atacamensis is an oviparous species, with direct development (non-planktotrophic). Females lay capsules of a single egg from which a juvenile resembling a miniature adult hatches after intracapsular metamorphosis is completed. The development type was confirmed by the observation of a paucispiral protoconch (= protoconch I) using scanning electron microscopy. Recruitment was observed across the four seasons of the year, with an increment at the end of austral summer. Results also showed that sex ratio was 1:1, whereas sexual dimorphism was not detected using univariate and multivariate analysis of the shell. The reproductive data provided in this study are a starting point for future Submitted 29 January 2021 management plans.

Ya.I. Starobogatov travelled all over the former Soviet Union and collected numerous samples of mollusks and other invertebrates. As a result, he studied and described many new species, genera and families of different invertebrates, including mollusks. More than one thousand names of Mollusca were introduced by Ya.I. Starobogatov. This paper is a continuation of publishing the photographs of extant type specimens or topotypes of freshwater gastropods described by Ya.I. Starobogatov (1932–2004) with his disciples and coauthors. Photographs are given for 83 of 84 considered species belonging to Acroloxidae (Pulmonata), Valvatidae (Heterobranchia), and Viviparidae, Amnicolidae, Baicaliidae, Bithyniidae, Hydrobiidae, Lithoglyphidae, Melanopsidae and Thiaridae (Caenogastropoda). The data presentation includes detailed infor- mation about types; the “Additional records” section lists only the Zoological Institute (ZIN) catalog-based data because ZIN is the place of storage of the type specimens and the whole material studied by Ya.I.

The species was previously known only from Lake Amvrakia in Greece, but it turned out to be present in Dojran Lake as well, only misidentified and recognized under different name, Bithynia leachii (Sheppard, 1823). In the following paper we present information about the species’ habitat and distribution. Photographs of the shell and male genitalia are also provided. Key words: Pseudobithynia ambrakis, first record, Dojran Lake, Republic of North Macedonia. Introduction Family Bithyniidae Gray, 1857 (Gastropoda) presents one of the most challenging groups of invertebrates that caught the attention of many malacologists over the last decades (Chung 1984; Kim 2005; Glöer et al.

Currently, it is estimated that more than 200 million people are at risk of C. sinensis infection, and over 15 million are infected worldwide. C. sinensis infection is closely related to cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), fibrosis and other human hepatobiliary diseases; thus, clonorchiasis is a serious public health problem in endemic areas. This article reviews the current knowledge regarding the epidemiology, disease burden and treatment of clonorchiasis as well as summarizes the techniques for detecting C. sinensis infection in humans and intermediate hosts and vaccine development against clonorchiasis. Newer data regarding the pathogenesis of clonorchiasis and the genome, transcriptome and secretome of C. sinensis are collected, thus providing perspectives for future studies. These advances in research will aid the development of innovative strategies for the prevention and control of clonorchiasis.
