Abstract:

The land’s snail Theba Pisana (Helicidae) is a very harmful snail that is found on some crops and lives on attacking fruits and ornamental plants. It has another name, which is the white garden snail. Theba Pisana is native to the western Palearctic but it became invasive in many parts of the world. It negatively affects agriculture industries. In this review, we will report the results of some studies about the biology-ecology of the white snail and some other snails. Control strategies using trapping, essential oil plants, natural enemies and chemical pesticides, will be presented as a

Abstract:

We aimed to explore the population dynamics of snail in 3 sites of the White Nile in Sudan. More specifically, we aimed to investigate the annual patterns of snail populations that act as intermediate hosts of schistosomes and monthly snail infection rates and ecological characteristics presumably related to snail populations. We collected snails for 1 year monthly at 3 different shore sites in the vicinity of El Shajara along the White Nile river in Khartoum State, Sudan. In addition, we measured air and water temperatures, water turbidities, vegetation coverages, and water depths and current

Abstract:

It has been suggested that white colour is beneficial for snails living in arid environments. In this work, shell coloration in the arid-dwelling land snail <em>Sphincterochila (Albea) candidissima </em>was manipulated during aestivation. Snails painted black lost more body weight than did control ones, presumably as a consequence of higher heat absorption. This suggests that light colour is advantageous for this land snail.

Damage caused by the white snail Cernuella virgata (Da Costa, 1778) was for the first time observed in vegetable crops in Serbia during the summers of 2011 and 2012. In this country, serious damage to vegetable crops is usually caused by slugs, while snails do not normally cause any significant harm. Typical xerophilic snail species in the genera Cernuella, Xerolenta and Theba cause damage even more rarely since they are limited to wild flora in uncultivated and ruderal areas, and local outbreaks occur seldom and only in forage leguminous crops. The species C. virgata was for the first time fo

Fasciolosis is water and food borne disease, caused byFasciola hepaticaandF. gigantica. SnailLymnaea acuminatais an intermediate host of these flukes.

Trapping of snails with the help of photo- and chemoattractants for treatment purposes will be a new tool in control program of fasciolosis.

ABSTRACT The molluscicidal toxicity of abamectin against two economic snails namely, the brawn garden snail (Eobania vermiculata) and the white garden snail (Theba pisana), was established under in vivo conditions. Abamectin was used by the topical application technique. The mortality of snails was recorded after 24 and 72 hrs of exposure. The obtained results revealed that E. vermiculata was more resistant to abamectin than T. pisana. The LD50 for E. vermiculata after 24 and 72 hrs of exposure were 0.379 & 0.250 μg/ gm b.w, respectively. Whereas the LD50 for T. pisana were 0.199 and 0.125

Heavy metals are pollutants that cannot be decomposed in the environment, so they have to be removed from the environment by membrane adsorption techniques. The study aims to: (1) synthesize chitosan from rice field snail shells, (2) synthesize and characterize chitosan membranes with varying concentrations of chitosan, and (3) determine the pH and contact time optimum to adsorb Pb2+ ions in solution.

Abstract The effect of three forms of active species protection in the Roman snail were studied. On the “source plot” the natural population was supported by introducing hatchlings of farmed Roman snails aged 1+, bred from adult specimens of this population. These hatchlings (age 1+) from “source plot” population were also introduced to the following two natural plots: to the “empty plot”, where the population was formed by introduction of farmed Roman snails in the second year of life (1+) into a selected area which had been emptied of the natural population; to the “inhabited plot”, where fa

Abstract:

The presence of the body colour polymorphism in the tropical invasive pest giant African snail is reported for the first time from South India. Three different body colour polymorphs were recognised viz. grey, black and white. The grey body colour is the most common polymorph. The black and white colour polymorphs are found to be in almost equal proportions in the reported localities with the grey counterparts. The cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences of the three colour polymorphs are found to be identical. The presence of the body colour polymorphism in south India may be attributed

Abstract:

The dependence of the introduction history of Cepaea hortensis in the western regions of Ukraine and the phenotypic variability of this species, concerning the shell and body colouration, is analysed. In areas inhabited by descendants of the primary introduction (most likely, the second half of the 20th century, but not later than the 1970s) no more than three main variants of shell colouration are observed: yellow or white unbanded, white banded. There is also no variability in the body colouration; all snails have a light body, without gray or reddish pigment. The most characteristic feature

Abstract:

Snail allergy is considered a serious form of food allergy with prevalence of 1.4 to 22% worldwide. However, allergy to Pomacea canaliculata, a commonly consumed local snail has not been well-described. Hence, this study aimed to characterize the allergenicity and stability of the allergenic proteins of P. canaliculata by proteomics approach. Snail flesh was treated with several thermal and non-thermal treatments prior to overnight protein extraction. The snail proteins were then subjected to SDS-PAGE, followed by immunoblotting, two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE), 2-DE immunoblotting and

To test the effects of co-occurrence of the two species on a clear-water macrophyte state, we performed a 20-day experiment in 16 mesocosms (4 contained only two snails, 4 contained only two crayfishes, 4 contained two snails and two crayfishes, and 4 controls).

Abstract:

Introduction: Freshwater snails, particularly snails from the genus Biomphalaria, play a key role in the transmission of schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease prevalent in tropical regions. Schistosomiasis poses a significant public health challenge in these regions, leading to chronic illness, reduced productivity, and impaired childhood development, particularly in communities with limited access to healthcare and sanitation. Understanding the seasonal and spatial variations in snail populations and infection rates is crucial for controlling schistosomiasis, especially in areas like Southwest

In total, 58 mollusc species are known from the reserve, 56 being terrestrial gastropods with one aquatic snail and one bivalve. Most diversity consists of forest species, followed by the euryvalent and hygrophilous species. Three species are listed in the Red List of
