Английская Википедия:Biomphalaria pfeifferi
Biomphalaria pfeifferi is a species of air-breathing freshwater snail, an aquatic animal pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails.
This snail is a medically important pest,[1] because of transferring the disease schistosomiasis.[2]
Distribution
Biomphalaria pfeifferi is an African species. It has recently expanded its native range.[1]
Distribution of Biomphalaria pfeifferi include:
The type locality is Umgani-Valley, Natal, South Africa[4] (in the times of the description it was the British Colony of Natal).
Phylogeny
A cladogram showing phylogenic relations of species in the genus Biomphalaria:[5]
Mating system
B. pfeifferi is hermaphroditic, and genetic analyses performed both at the family and population levels indicate high self-fertilization rates.[6] However, B. pfeifferi exhibits only a low level of inbreeding depression.[6]
Ecology
Biomphalaria pfeifferi can survive up to 16 hours in anaerobic water using lactic acid fermentation.[7]
In Kenya, B. pfeifferi is positively associated with the common blue water-lily Nymphaea caerulea (the two species occur together).[2]
Parasites
Parasites of Biomphalaria pfeifferi include the following 11 species found in Tanzania:[8]
- Schistosoma mansoni[8][9]
- undescribed clinostomatid[8]
- two species undescribed strigea[8]
- Cercaria porteri[8]
- Cercaria blukwa[8]
- two species of undescribed echinostome[8]
- Cercaria lileta[8]
- Cercaria obscurior[8]
- Cercaria bulla[8]
Control
In Kenya, releasing the edible American crayfish Procambarus clarkii as an introduced species has helped eliminate the mollusc, which it feeds on, as well as provided a new source of food and income,[2][10] but may also be impacting the environment by reducing the amount of native aquatic plants.[11]
The seeds of the tree Balanites aegyptiaca have a molluscicide effect on Biomphalaria pfeifferi.[12]
Substance | Route | LC50 | Reference |
---|---|---|---|
Powder of crude kernels of Balanites aegyptiaca | immersion(?) | 60 ppm | [12] |
Acetone extract of powder of the kernels of Balanites aegyptiaca | immersion(?) | 172,40 ppm | [12] |
Ethanol extract of the powder of kernels of Balanites aegyptiaca | immersion(?) | 84,15 ppm | [12] |
Ethanolic extract of the fruits of Dalbergia sissoo (family Leguminosae) exhibited molluscicidal effect against eggs of Biomphalaria pfeifferi.[13]
