“…However, all Venezuelan samples collected in this study are morphologically similar to susceptible phenotypes studied in Cuba, i.e., well rounded shell and characteristic mantle pigmentation pattern (Gutiérrez et al 2003). Moreover, L. columella has been reported naturally infected by F. hepatica in several countries it has invaded, such as Australia (Boray et al 1985), Brazil (Ueta 1980) and Argentina (Prepelitchi et al 2003).…”

An extensive malacological survey was carried out between [2005][2006][2007][2008][2009] Fascioliasis is a parasitosis mainly infecting cattle, but it is now considered to be an emergent disease in humans in many countries over the world (Mas-Coma 2005). In the New World, it is considered as a serious health problem in several Andean countries. Bolivia is even described as a hyperendemic area and one of its epidemiological characteristics is its very high altitude at more than 4,000 m . The timing of the emergence of human foci in the Altiplano Region corresponds to the invasion by the European intermediate snail host Lymnaea truncatula (Jabbour-Zahab et al. 1997, Meunier et al. 2001. In Venezuela, human fascioliasis was first reported in 1910 and only eight sporadic cases were detected in the following decades (Risquez 1929, Rodríguez & González 1975, Abdul-Hadi et al. 1996, Scorza et al. 1999, Incani et al. 2002, Alarcón de Noya et al. 2006). However, in 2005 five children belonging to the same family were detected with fascioliasis in Timotes, in the Venezuelan Andes, at an altitude of 2,230 m (Alarcón de Noya et al. 2007). The same year a malacological survey carried out in the Timotes area found only a single lymnaeid species, the European L. truncatula. In this paper we present the results of an extensive malacological survey which was carried out A malacological survey was carried out between 2005-2009 across the whole country. A total of 298 sites were sampled (see the inserts in the maps showing all the sampling sites). Snails were sampled from different vegetation either by hand or sampled using a scoop mounted with a wooden handle, depending on the type of site. These sites include the following main habitat types: springs, ditches, brooks, canals, rivers, swamps, tanks, ponds and lakes. Following field collection lymnaeid snails were allowed to relax overnight using menthol. They were then immersed for 40 s in water at 70°C, from which they were transferred to water at RT. The soft parts were drawn from the shell with small forceps and fixed in slightly modified Railliet-Henry fluid (distilled water 930 mL, sodium chloride 6 g, formalin 50 mL, glacial acetic acid 20 mL). Shells were measured to the nearest 1 mm using callipers. Snails preserved in Railliet Henry's fluid were dissected under a stereoscopic microscope and drawings of the reproductive system were made using a camera lucida attachment. Snails were identified according to conchological and anatomical characteristics

“…In Brazil, L. columella showed the following infection rates: 2.4% in Rio de Janeiro (Rezende et al 1973); 5.2 and 3.9% in Minas Gerais (Coelho & Lima 2003); 1.22 and 0.14% (Ueta 1980), 5.26% (Oliveira et al 2002) in São Paulo; 3.3% in Rio Grande do Sul (Silva Santos et al 1987). In Corrientes, Argentina, the prevalence of L. columella was 8.8% (Prepelitchi et al 2003). In central France, Rondelaud et al (2001) reported a global prevalence of natural infection of 1.1% in L. truncatula and 0.3% in L. glabra.…”

“…Las característi-cas del sistema radular (Larrea et al, 1994; Hurtado y Tantaleán, 1998), así como las evaluaciones morfológicas del aparato reproductor (Larrea et al, 1993;Prepelitchi et al, 2003) demostraron la presencia de Lymnaea viatrix y Pseudosuccinea columella. Este hallazgo difiere con lo observado por Larrea et al (1994), quienes no hallaron al caracol Pseudosuccinea columella en la zona de Cusco y Puno, tal vez debido a que estos autores no evaluaron zonas altas como en el presente estudio o probablemente este hallazgo confirma la introducción de esta especie a nuevos hábitats.…”
