Biomphalaria
''Biomphalaria'' is a genus of air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonates belonging to the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails and their allies. ''Biomphalaria'' is the type genus of the tribe Biomphalariini. Both ''Planorbis'' and ''Taphius'' are synonyms for ''Biomphalaria''. The shell of this species, like all planorbids is left coiling (sinistral), but is carried upside down and thus appears to be right coiling (dextral). Species There are a suspected 35 extant species in the genus ''Biomphalaria'' in total (21 American species and 14 Old World species). However, there are a large number of invalid taxa within the ''Biomphalaria'' literature, which is likely the result of several (if not all) species of ''Biomphalaria'' being subject to various sources of intraspecific variation such as ecophenotypic variation and indeterminate shell growth. This intraspecific variation can make two individuals of the same species appear as two taxonomically distinct ent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Biomphalaria Glabrata
''Biomphalaria glabrata'' is a species of air-breathing freshwater snail, an aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails. ''Biomphalaria glabrata'' is an intermediate snail host for the trematode '' Schistosoma mansoni'', which is one of the main schistosomes that infect humans. This snail is a medically important pest, because of transferring the disease intestinal schistosomiasis, the most widespread of all types of schistosomiasis. The parasite ''Schistosoma mansoni'' (which these snails and other ''Biomphalaria'' snails carry) infects about 83.31 million people worldwide. ''Biomphalaria glabrata''/''Schistosoma mansoni'' provides a useful model system for investigating the intimate interactions between host and parasite. There is a great deal of information available about this snail, because it has been, and continues to be, under intensive study by many malacologists, parasitologists and other researchers, on account of its m ...

Biomphalaria Orbignyi
''Biomphalaria'' is a genus of air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonates belonging to the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails and their allies. ''Biomphalaria'' is the type genus of the tribe Biomphalariini. Both ''Planorbis'' and ''Taphius'' are synonyms for ''Biomphalaria''. The shell of this species, like all planorbids is left coiling (sinistral), but is carried upside down and thus appears to be right coiling (dextral). Species There are a suspected 35 extant species in the genus ''Biomphalaria'' in total (21 American species and 14 Old World species). However, there are a large number of invalid taxa within the ''Biomphalaria'' literature, which is likely the result of several (if not all) species of ''Biomphalaria'' being subject to various sources of intraspecific variation such as ecophenotypic variation and indeterminate shell growth.
