Ocorrência no Brasil de Thiara (Melanoides) tuberculata (O.F. Muller, 1774) (Gastropoda, Prosobranchia), primeiro hospedeiro intermediário de Clonorchis sinensis (Cobbold, 1875) (Trematoda, Plathyhelmintes)

Abstract: Relata-se a introdução em nosso meio de Thiara (Melanoides) tuberculata possivelmente anterior a 1967, quando pela primeira vez foi coletada em Santos. Essa espécie pode comportar-se como primeiro hospedeiro intermediário de Paragonimus westermani e de Clonorchis sinensis. Somente o último trematódeo tem alguma possibilidade de vir a parasitar o homem, em nosso meio.

“…Although birds play an important role on the spreading of freshwater snails because they can carry snails on feet or plumage, or even through the alimentary canal (Madsen & Franzen 1989, Green & Figuerola 2005, we think the most likely mechanism of introduction is aquarium release, as suggested by Corrêa et al (1980) regarding the spreading of several freshwater snails in Brazil, by Vaz et al (1986) and Thiengo et al (2003) regarding M tuberculatus in Brazil and, by Duggan (2002) regarding the introduction of M. tuberculatus to New Zealand. In support of this hypothesis we can mention that we saw an unused aquarium at the backyard of a house near the site where we found B. tenagophila.…”

“…The first record of this species in Brazil was in 1967, in Santos, state of São Paulo (Vaz et al 1986), probably introduced by the aquarium trade. Biomphalaria tenagophila is one of the natural vectors of Schistosoma mansoni Sambon, 1907 and it is widely distributed in Rio de Janeiro (Thiengo et al , 2002a(Thiengo et al , b, 2004a but was not registered in Ilha Grande till now.…”

“…The second, M. tuberculata, is originally from Africa, but it was accidentally introduced in the West Indies and Venezuela and used as biological control of B. glabrata , Pointier & Guyard 1992, Schlegel et al 1997. In Brazil, the introduction was more likely an accident, a byproduct of introductions of aquatic plants and fish for fisheries (Vaz et al 1986). The population of B. glabrata in an irrigation channel in Sumidouro has been monitored from May 1995 to September 1999.…”

“…Clonorchis sinensis, um parasita das vias biliares do ser humano, ocorre em muitos países do oriente como China, Japão, Coréia, Vietnã e parte da Índia (VAZ et al, 1986), seu ciclo de vida tem início quando ovos eliminados com as fezes do portador são deglutidos por caramujos da família Bithinidae ou Thiaridae (ex: espécies dos gêneros Semisulcospira e Melanoides respectivamente), neles os ovos se desenvolvem originando sucessivamente esporócitos, rédias e pleurolofocercárias que podem penetrar e encistar em cerca de oitenta espécies de peixes pertencentes a dez famílias diferentes, entre elas Cyprinidae. O hospedeiro definitivo infecta-se ao comer peixe cru ou mal cozido, conforme o hábito nos países asiáticos, por exemplo, (Vaz et.…”
