Abstract: Trematodes infection of genus Schistosoma can lead to physiological and behavioral changes in intermediate snail hosts. This is because the parasite consumes essential resources required for the host's survival, but the hosts can adaptively modify their behavior to ensure some level of fitness before parasite-induced mortality. The present study examined the reproductive and biochemical parameters of Biomphalaria alexandrina and Bulinus truncatus during the shedding stage of infection with Schistosoma mansoni … Show more
