Abstract
Natural infections of three freshwater snails with Fasciola hepatica and/or Paramphistomum daubneyi were studied during two periods in 1996 and 1997 (June–July and September–October) on 18 farms located in the departments of Vienne and Haute Vienne (central France), and known for low prevalences of F. hepatica infections in ruminants. A total of 1573 Lymnaea glabra and 1421 L. truncatula 6 mm high or more were collected in the meadows of 13 farms and dissected under laboratory conditions. Snails with single or concurrent infections of F. hepatica and/or P. daubneyi were found for each Lymnaea species. InL. truncatula, global prevalences of natural infections with F. hepatica (3.8% in June–July, and 3.6% in September–October) were significantly greater than those recorded for P. daubneyi (1.1% and 0.8%, respectively). In L. glabra, global prevalences of F. hepatica infections (0.4% in each investigation period) were significantly lower than those found in L. truncatula, whereas there were no significant differences between prevalences of P. daubneyi infections. A total of 2721 Planorbis leucostoma measuring at least 4 mm in diameter were collected in the meadows of the other five farms on which L. truncatula was absent. In these planorbids, global prevalences of natural infections with F. hepatica were 0.4% in each period of investigation. Contrary to fasciolosis, snail infections with P. daubneyi were not noted on all farms of the Vienne and Haute-Vienne departments. Natural single or concurrent infections with F. hepatica and/or P. daubneyi in L. glabra and a natural infection of P. leucostoma with F. hepatica were found in swampy meadows on acid soil.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
