rats and bilharziasis in guadeloupe. | the rats in guadeloupe (rattus rattus and rattus norvegicus) may play a part in schistosomiasis in three ways: - by harbouring fertile s. mansoni, a fact which serves to increase the total population of the parasite and may eventually take part in the infestation of man; - by harbouring a great number of ribeiroia marini, a trematode whose larval stages sterilize biomphalaria glabrata, the vector of schistosomiasis; - simply by eating b. glabrata. the quantitative influence of these contradicto ... | 1975 | 7114 |
data on the life cycle of ribeiroia marini guadeloupensis n. ssp., a trematode sterilizing biomphalaria glabrata in guadeloupe. | data on the life cycle of ribeiroia marini guadeloupensis n.ssp., trematode sterilizing biomphalaria glabrata in guadeloupe. maintenance of the life cycle with a view to an eventual control of the populations of molluscs. in guadeloupe (french west indies), the definitive hosts of ribeiroia marini guadeloupensis n.ssp. are the two species of rats: rattus rattus and r. norvegicus. the first intermediate host is biomphalaria glabrata, the vector of intestinal schistosomiasis. the second intermedia ... | 1978 | 24996 |
[the role of the rat in the dynamics of endemic schistosomias in guadeloupe]. | in guadeloupe (french lesser antilles), because they are simultaneously infested with schistosoma mansoni, which causes the human intestinal schistosomiasis, and ribeiroia marini, a trematode which sterilizes the mollusk-host of the schistosoma, the rats (rattus rattus and rattus norvegicus) seem able to influence, at least locally, the infestation of the human population. | 1975 | 813876 |
