real-time pcr strategy for rapid discrimination among main lymnaeid species from argentina.	snails of the family lymnaeidae act as an intermediate hosts of fasciola hepatica worldwide. the taxonomy of lymnaeid species is relevant for epidemiological studies and molecular strategies are increasingly used for that purpose. this work presents the first report of a real-time pcr approach used to identify the most important lymnaeid species in the southern cone of south america. species discrimination is based on the sequence polymorphism located within the helix e10-1 of the variable regio ...	2009	18983808
characterisation of fascioliasis lymnaeid intermediate hosts from chile by dna sequencing, with emphasis on lymnaea viator and galba truncatula.	in south america, fasciola hepatica infection poses serious health problems in both humans and livestock. in chile, the medical impact appears yearly stable and mainly concentrated in central regions, where the veterinary problem is highlighted by higher animal prevalences. studies were undertaken by rdna its-2 and its-1 and mtdna cox1 sequencing to clarify the specific status of the lymnaeids, their geographical distribution and fascioliasis transmission capacity in chile, by comparison with ot ...	2011	21933653
