“…Many other specialists also contributed and examined several specimens from this collection. In 1948, when Dr. Wladimir Lobato Paraense worked at the Public Health Special Service, a Brazilian institution responsible for the control of parasitic diseases in the Rio Doce Valley in Minas Gerais, including schistosomiasis [ 6 , 7 ] , he began his studies on the mollusks involved in the transmission of schistosomiasis in Brazil, creating the collection. …”

Planorbidae comprises approximately 40 genera of freshwater gastropods, including roughly 250 species. Among the Planorbidae subfamilies, the significance of Planorbinae is due to its genus Biomphalaria, whose species are intermediate hosts of the trematode Schistosoma mansoni Sambon, 1907, which causes schistosomiasis in humans and animals. Here, we present the analysis of the dataset of Planorbidae housed in the Collection of Mollusks of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute, with a special focus on Biomphalaria species. This dataset includes 7,267 lots originating from 55 countries, representing 20 genera and 75 species collected from 1948 to 2023. Collections were performed in all regions of Brazil, comprising specimens from 26 states and the Federal District, particularly from the Southeast and Northeast. Within the dataset, Biomphalaria includes 3,926 lots of 31 species from 42 countries. These records will help improve our comprehension of schistosomiasis transmission dynamics and the geographic distributions of these medically important species.

“…They play a crucial role in fields lying at the forefront of the biological sciences. These include the study of biodiversity and its losses, biological invasions, global climate change, and reconstructions of evolutionary patterns and processes (Shaffer et al, 1998;Suarez & Tsutsui, 2004;Pyke & Ehrlich, 2010;Bi et al, 2013;Gomes et al, 2016). In Brazil, the Imperial Museum (later the Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro) held the first scientific collection in the country, founded in 1818.…”

Scientific collections represent a highly relevant social legacy. They provide a source for research and production of human resources at several academic levels and play a key role for the preservation of biodiversity. The Invertebrate Collection Paulo Young (CIPY), held at the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), contains one of the most complete collections of shallow water marine invertebrates from Northeastern Brazil. It contains about 18,000 catalogued samples, and circa 2-3 times more samples awaiting identification and registration. The samples were collected in a variety of natural and artificial marine environments (e. g., coastal reefs, mangroves, and shipwrecks). The main collection is subdivided into seven main groups (Porifera, Cnidaria, Mollusca, Annelida, Crustacea, Echinodermata, and Ascidiacea), and other smaller groups (Bryozoa, Echiura, Sipuncula, Pycnogonida, Enteropneusta, and marine Turbellaria). Using only identified and registered samples, we catalogued 285 species among the phyla Porifera (89 spp.), Cnidaria (93 spp.), and Echinodermata (103 spp.). The collection has 36 types of species (including three Porifera, one Cnidaria, and four Echinodermata). Considering its representativeness, this collection has a valuable record of Brazilian national marine diversity. Thus, the CIPY deserves to be known, recognized, and made available for study.
