| larval trematodes (digenea) of the great pond snail, lymnaea stagnalis (l.), (gastropoda, pulmonata) in central europe: a survey of species and key to their identification. | a survey of cercariae and metacercariae (trematoda, digenea) from the great pond snail (lymnaea stagnalis) in central europe (austria, czech republic, south-east germany, poland and slovak republic) is presented, based on a study of 3,628 snails examined from 1998 to 2005. a total of 953 (26.3%) l. stagnalis were infected with 24 trematode species comprising 19 species of cercariae and 11 species of metacercariae (six species occurred both as cercarie and metacercarie) of eight families. the dom ... | 2007 | 17432056 |
| larval trematodes (digenea) of planorbid snails (gastropoda: pulmonata) in central europe: a survey of species and key to their identification. | a survey of the larval stages (cercariae and metacercariae) of trematodes (digenea) found in planorbid snails in central europe (austria, czech republic, south-east germany, hungary, poland and the slovak republic) is presented based on a study of 7,628 snails of 12 species examined between 1998-2006. a total of 34 trematode larval stages, comprising cercariae of 28 species and metacercariae of seven species (one species occurred both as cercaria and metacercaria) of nine families were found in ... | 2008 | 18210216 |
| digenea species in chosen populations of freshwater snails in northern and central part of poland. | background: the aim of this work was to determine the biodiversity of digenean larvae in the snail populations from various water bodies. material and methods: snails under study were collected from 29 reservoirs situated in northern and central part of poland. during the period 1999-2005 10.581 snails from 6 species (among which two species dominated: lymnaea stagnalis--9.469, and planorbarius corneus--737 specimens) were examined for shedding cercariae. the total number of 4.404 molluscs was p ... | 2007 | 18441876 |
| symptoms of behavioural anapyrexia--reverse fever as a defence response of snails to fluke invasion. | the subject of the research was the thermal preferences of planorbarius corneus individuals infected by larvae of digenetic trematodes. snails were obtained over two consecutive years, 2009 and 2010, from 10 water bodies located in central poland. the relationship between the seasons and the occurrence of patent invasions in hosts found in the shore-zone of lakes was observed. behavioural experiments conducted on p. corneus individuals placed in a thermal gradient demonstrated that parasite infe ... | 2012 | 22244795 |
| systematic position and phylogenetic relationships of the family omphalometridae (digenea, plagiorchiida) inferred from partial lsrdna sequences. | the phylogenetic relationships and systematic position of the digenean genus omphalometra looss, 1899 and several other closely related genera, have always been controversial and opinions of different authors on the systematic rank and content of this group have varied greatly. molecular analysis based on the partial sequences of the large subunit ribosomal dna gene of representatives of the genera omphalometra, rubenstrema and neoglyphe as well as previously published sequences of members of fi ... | 2001 | 11165275 |
