Pseudosuccinea Columella: Age Resistance to Calicophoron Daubneyi Infection in Two Snail Populations
Parasite 2015, 22,6 Ó Y. Dar et al., published by EDP Sciences, 2015 DOI: 10.1051/parasite/2015003 Available online at: www.parasite-journal.org RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Pseudosuccinea columella: age resistance to Calicophoron daubneyi infection in two snail populations Yasser Dar1,2, Daniel Rondelaud2, Philippe Vignoles2, and Gilles Dreyfuss2,* 1 Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, University of Tanta, Tanta, Egypt 2 INSERM 1094, Faculties of Medicine and Pharmacy, 87025 Limoges, France Received 26 November 2014, Accepted 21 January 2015, Published online 10 February 2015 Abstract – Individual infections of Egyptian and French Pseudosuccinea columella with five miracidia of Calicoph- oron daubneyi were carried out to determine whether this lymnaeid was capable of sustaining larval development of this parasite. On day 42 post-exposure (at 23 °C), infected snails were only noted in groups of individuals measuring 1 or 2 mm in height at miracidial exposure. Snail survival in the 2-mm groups was significantly higher than that noted in the 1-mm snails, whatever the geographic origin of snail population. In contrast, prevalence of C. daubneyi infec- tion was significantly greater in the 1-mm groups (15–20% versus 3.4–4.0% in the 2-mm snails). Low values were noted for the mean shell growth of infected snails at their death (3.1–4.0 mm) and the mean number of cercariae (<9 in the 1-mm groups, <19 in the 2-mm snails). No significant differences between snail populations and snails groups were noted for these last two parameters. Most infected snails died after a single cercarial shedding wave. -

Malatji , Jennifer Lamb, Samson Mukaratirwa School of Life Sciences, College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville Campus, Durban 4001, South Africa ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Lymnaeidae snail species are known to be intermediate hosts of human and livestock helminths parasites, Lymnaeidae especially Fasciola species. Identification of these species and their geographical distribution is important to ITS-2 better understand the epidemiology of the disease. Significant diversity has been observed in the shell mor- Okavango delta (OKD) phology of snails from the Lymnaeidae family and the systematics within this family is still unclear, especially KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) province when the anatomical traits among various species have been found to be homogeneous. Although there are Mpumalanga province records of lymnaeid species of southern Africa based on shell morphology and controversial anatomical traits, there is paucity of information on the molecular identification and phylogenetic relationships of the different taxa. Therefore, this study aimed at identifying populations of Lymnaeidae snails from selected sites of the Okavango Delta (OKD) in Botswana, and sites located in the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and Mpumalanga (MP) provinces of South Africa using molecular techniques. Lymnaeidae snails were collected from 8 locations from the Okavango delta in Botswana, 9 from KZN and one from MP provinces and were identified based on phy- logenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS-2). -

Dolores Bargues1*, Patricio Artigas1, Rene Angles2, David Osca1, Pamela Duran1, Paola Buchon3, R. Karina Gonzales‑Pomar3, Julio Pinto‑Mendieta3 and Santiago Mas‑Coma1 Abstract Background: Fascioliasis is a snail‑borne zoonotic trematodiasis emerging due to climate changes, anthropogenic environment modifcations, and livestock movements. Many areas where Fasciola hepatica is endemic in humans have been described in Latin America altitude areas. Highest prevalences and intensities were reported from four provinces of the northern Bolivian Altiplano, where preventive chemotherapy is ongoing. New strategies are now incorporated to decrease infection/re‑infection risk, assessment of human infection sources to enable efcient prevention measures, and additionally a One Health initiative in a selected zone. Subsequent extension of these pilot interventions to the remaining Altiplano is key. Methods: To verify reproducibility throughout, 133 specimens from 25 lymnaeid populations representative of the whole Altiplano, and 11 used for population dynamics studies, were analyzed by rDNA ITS2 and ITS1 and mtDNA cox1 and 16S sequencing to assess their classifcation, variability and geographical spread. Results: Lymnaeid populations proved to belong to a monomorphic group, Galba truncatula. Only a single cox1 mutation was found in a local population. Two cox1 haplotypes were new. Comparisons of transmission foci data from the 1990’s with those of 2018 demonstrated an endemic area expansion. -

Clonal Amplification of Fasciola Hepatica in Galba Truncatula: Within and Between Isolate Variation of Triclabendazole- Susceptible and -Resistant Clones Jane E
Hodgkinson et al. Parasites & Vectors (2018) 11:363 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-018-2952-z RESEARCH Open Access Clonal amplification of Fasciola hepatica in Galba truncatula: within and between isolate variation of triclabendazole- susceptible and -resistant clones Jane E. Hodgkinson1* , Krystyna Cwiklinski1,2, Nicola Beesley1, Catherine Hartley1, Katherine Allen1 and Diana J. L. Williams1 Abstract Background: Fasciola hepatica is of worldwide significance, impacting on the health, welfare and productivity of livestock and regarded by WHO as a re-emerging zoonosis. Triclabendazole (TCBZ), the drug of choice for controlling acute fasciolosis in livestock, is also the drug used to treat human infections. However TCBZ-resistance is now considered a major threat to the effective control of F. hepatica. It has yet to be demonstrated whether F. hepatica undergoes a genetic clonal expansion in the snail intermediate host, Galba truncatula,andtowhat extent amplification of genotypes within the snail facilitates accumulation of drug resistant parasites. Little is known about genotypic and phenotypic variation within and between F. hepatica isolates. Results: Six clonal isolates of F. hepatica (3× triclabendazole-resistant, TCBZ-R and 3× triclabendazole-susceptible, TCBZ-S) were generated. Snails infected with one miracidium started to shed cercariae 42–56 days post-infection and shed repeatedly up to a maximum of 11 times. A maximum of 884 cercariae were shed by one clonally-infected snail (FhLivS1) at a single time point, with > 3000 clonal metacercariae shed over its lifetime. Following experimental infection all 12 sheep were FEC positive at the time of TCBZ treatment. Sheep infected with one of three putative TCBZ-S clones and treated with TCBZ had no parasites in the liver at post-mortem, whilst sheep each infected with putative TCBZ-R isolates had 35–165 adult fluke at post-mortem, despite TCBZ treatment. -

The list contains 193 species, representing 13 families and 61 genera. Of these, 103 species (53.4%) and 12 genera are endemic to Mexico, and 75 species are considered local endemics because of their restricted distribution to very small areas. Using NatureServe Ranking, 9 species (4.7%) are considered possibly or presumably extinct, 40 (20.7%) are critically imperiled, 30 (15.5%) are imperiled, 15 (7.8%) are vulnerable and only 64 (33.2%) are currently stable. -

Loads of Trematodes: Discovering Hidden Diversity of Paramphistomoids in Kenyan Ruminants

Box 54840- 00200, Nairobi, Kenya (Received 23 May 2016; revised 24 August 2016; accepted 7 September 2016; first published online 20 October 2016) SUMMARY Paramphistomoids are ubiquitous and widespread digeneans that infect a diverse range of definitive hosts, being particu- larly speciose in ruminants. We collected adult worms from cattle, goats and sheep from slaughterhouses, and cercariae from freshwater snails from ten localities in Central and West Kenya. We sequenced cox1 (690 bp) and internal transcribed region 2 (ITS2) (385 bp) genes from a small piece of 79 different adult worms and stained and mounted the remaining worm bodies for comparisons with available descriptions. We also sequenced cox1 and ITS2 from 41 cercariae/rediae samples collected from four different genera of planorbid snails. Combining morphological observations, host use infor- mation, genetic distance values and phylogenetic methods, we delineated 16 distinct clades of paramphistomoids. For four of the 16 clades, sequences from adult worms and cercariae/rediae matched, providing an independent assessment for their life cycles. Much work is yet to be done to resolve fully the relationships among paramphistomoids, but some correspond- ence between sequence- and anatomically based classifications were noted. -
