Abstract: Fluctuations in population density of planorbid hosts of S. mansoni are influenced by climatic factors. The knowledge about interference from changes in water temperature in these populations is an important aspect of the epidemiology of schistosomiasis. In this experiment, it is explored the influence of different temperatures on the development of Schistosoma mansoni in Biomphalaria glabrata melanic and albino variants. The results indicated an intrinsic relationship between temperature and development of th… Show more

“…It was introduced in China as an invasive species in 1974, possibly through tropical aquarium plants or fish trade, adapting well to the continent, dispersing considerably and becoming a health concern in Asia (Meier-Brook, 1974;Attwood et al, 2015;Yang et al, 2018). The occurrence of floating or vertical vegetation serves as shelter, food and support for the spawning of these animals (Paraense, 1961;Camargo et al, 2016). Several species of parasitic trematodes of fish, birds, amphibians, and mammals use B. straminea to generate cercariae.…”
