| ecological factors in schistosome transmission, and an environmentally benign method for controlling snails in a recreational lake with a record of schistosome dermatitis. | the avian schistosomes, trichobilharzia stagnicolae, t. physellae and gigantobilharzia sp., that cause schistosome dermatitis (swimmers' itch) in humans were studied in the laboratory and at cultus lake, british columbia, canada in relation to the biology and behavior of their intermediate snail hosts, stagnicola catascopium, physa sp. and gyraulus parvus, respectively, and their definite bird hosts. wind-driven, surface currents were measured. populations of snails, close to host-bird roosting ... | 2000 | 10729712 |
| ubiquitous variability in the prevalence of trichobilharzia stagnicolae (schistosomatidae) infecting stagnicola emarginata in three northern michigan lakes. | during 4 consecutive collecting seasons from 1998 through 2001, 77,326 common beach snails (stagnicola emarginata, lymnaeidae) were examined for infections by trichobilharzia stagnicolae from multiple sites on walloon lake, higgins lake, and lake leelanau, located in the northern region of the lower peninsula of michigan. snails were examined for infections using the light-box technique (exposure to bright fluorescent light). the prevalence of infected snails varied significantly among lakes wit ... | 2006 | 16629307 |
| molecular systematics of the avian schistosome genus trichobilharzia (trematoda: schistosomatidae) in north america. | trichobilharzia is a genus of threadlike schistosomes with a cosmopolitan distribution in birds. species of trichobilharzia achieve notoriety as major etiological agents of cercarial dermatitis, or swimmer's itch. there are 40 species described in the literature, for which the majority lacks molecular sequence information. to better understand the phylogenetic relationships, diversity, species boundaries, host use, and geographic distribution of this genus better, we surveyed 378 birds and over ... | 2009 | 20049999 |
