Echinostome trematode parasites have complex, multiple-host life-cycles, often involving migratory bird definitive hosts, thus leading to widespread distributions. Here, we examined the echinostome diversity in freshwater ecosystems at high latitude locations in Iceland, Finland, Ireland and Alaska (USA). We report 14 echinostome species identified morphologically and molecularly from analyses of nad1 and 28S rDNA sequence data. We found echinostomes parasitising snails of 11 species from the families Lymnaeidae, Planorbidae, Physidae and Valvatidae.

Abstract In the present study, conducted between 2001 and 2003, four taxa of aquatic gastropoda were identified from the Balıkdamı Wetland. All the species determined are new records for the study area, while one species Theodoxus gloeri sp. nov. is new to science. Neritidae is a representative family of an ancient group Archaeogastropoda, among Gastropoda. Theodoxus is a freshwater genus in the Neritidae, known for a dextral, rapidly grown shell ended with a large last whorl and a lunate calcareous operculum. Distribution of this genus includes Europe, also extending from North Africa to South Iran. In Turkey, 14 modern and fossil species and subspecies were mentioned so far. In this study, we aimed to uncover the gastropoda fauna of an important Wetland and describe a subterranean Theodoxus species, new to science. Key words: Gastropoda, Theodoxus gloeri sp. nov., Sakarya River, Balıkdamı Wetland Turkey.

Abstract | During the study period, a total 1,632 snails belonging to eight species which act as intermediate host(s) of trematodes were collected by hand picking using the time-collection method from near watering points. Among them, 13.2% (216/1,632) snail samples were found to be infected with trematode larvae. Abundance of infected snails was higher in rainy season showing significant relationship with monthly temperature and monthly rainfall. Abundance of infected snails was higher in Taunggyi Township than in Ayetharyar Township.

A total of 439 snails were collected from during India the period from September, 2015 to August, 2016 to know the type and intensity of different species of snails. The collected snails were identified as Lymnaea luteola, Pila globosa, Bellamyia sp., and P Pavan Kumar Indoplanorbis exustus based on their shell morphological features. Among the various types of snails, Teaching Assistant, Dept. of Lymnaea luteola (41.68%) was found to be more followed by Pila globosa (33.25%), Bellamyia sp., Veterinary Public Health, (15.71%) and Indoplanorbis exustus (9.33%). Snails were found attached to the vegetation in these water College of Veterinary and Animal bodies and the eggs of snail were enclosed in a slimy material attached to the water plants.

    9 Mitt. dtsch. malakozool. Ges. 86 9 – 12 Frankfurt a. M., Dezember 2011 Under Threat: The Stability of Authorships of Taxonomic Names in Malacology RUUD A. BANK Abstract: Nomenclature must be constructed in accordance with agreed rules. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature was founded in Leiden in September 1895. It not only produced a Code of nomencla- ture, that was refined over the years, but also provided arbitration and advice service, all with the aim of ensur- ing that every animal has one unique and universally accepted name. Name changes reduce the efficiency of biological nomenclature as a reference system. The Code was established to precisely specify the circumstances under which a name must be changed, and in what way. Name changes are only permitted if it is necessitated by a correction of nomenclatural error, by a change in classification, or by a correction of a past misidentification. Also authorships are regulated by the Code, mainly by Article 50. In a recent paper by WELTER-SCHULTES this Article is interpreted in a way that is different from previous interpretations by the zoological (malacological) community, leading to major changes in authorships. It is here argued that his alternative interpretations (1) are not in line with the spirit of the Code, and (2) will not serve the stability of nomenclature. It is important that interpretation and application of the existing rules be objective, consistent, and clear. Keywords: authorships, malacology, nomenclature, Code, ICZN, Article 50, Pisidium Zusammenfassung: In der Nomenklatur müssen übereinstimmende Regeln gelten. Die Internationale Kommis- sion für Zoologische Nomenklatur (ICZN) wurde im September 1895 in Leiden gegründet.
