Sarasinula marginata (Semper, 1885) (Mollusca, Soleolifera) de Belo Horizonte (MG, Brazil) como hospedeira intermediária potencial do Angiostrongylus costaricencis Morera & Céspedes, 1971

Abstract

Espécimes de Sarasinula marginata foram coletadas em hortas e jardins residenciais de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. A suscetibilidade desta espécie de lesma ao Angiostrongylus costaricensis foi verificada em laboratório, utilizando-se 15 exemplares da geração F1. Foi demonstrada uma positividade de 80,0%

Abdominal Angiostrongylosis in Southern Brazil - Prevalence and Parasitic Burden in Mollusc Intermediate Hosts from Eighteen Endemic Foci

“…Susceptibility was experimentally demonstrated for Biomphalaria glabrata, B. tenagophila, B. straminea, Sarasinula marginata and Megalobulimus abbreviatus (Graeff-Teixeira et al 1989b, Lima et al 1992a.…”

Potentiality of Achatina fulica Bowdich, 1822 (Mollusca: Gastropoda) as intermediate host of the Angiostrongylus costaricensis Morera & Céspedes 1971

“…On the other hand, the literature records a great variety of mollusk species experimentally infected with Angiostrongylus costaricensis, thus showing to be highly nonspecific to the intermediate host. In fact, other terrestrial and aquatic mollusks, experimentally infected, such as Veronicella occidentalis 9 , S. marginata 7 , P. boraceiensis 1 , mollusks from the genus Megalobulimus 3 and the planorbids Biomphalaria tenagophila and B. glabrata 8 were also susceptible to A. costaricensis, allowing the parasite to develop and eliminate L 3 .…”
