Schistosoma sinensium Bao, 1958 was first isolated from an unidentified snail in Sichuan Province, PR China. This species was apparently rediscovered in Chiang Mai Province, northwest Thailand (Baidikul et al., 1984); the definitive host was the rat Rattus rattus and the intermediate host was the snail Tricula bollingi. In this paper S. sinensium is rediscovered in Sichuan Province and compared with worms recovered from experimentally infected mice, which had been exposed to cercariae shed by T…

Comparison of approximately 3000-base-pair sequences of nuclear rDNA (partial 28S) and mtDNA ( partial cox1, nad6, 12S) strongly supports the status of Schistosoma kisumuensis as a new species and as a sister species of S. intercalatum.

ROBERTSIELLA SILVICOLA, A NEW SPECIES OF TRICULINE SNAIL (CAENOGASTROPODA: POMATIOPSIDAE) FROM PENINSULAR MALAYSIA, INTERMEDIATE HOST OF SCHISTOSOMA MALAYENSIS (TREMATODA: DIGENEA)
- Biology

Robertsiella silvicola is found in water bodies ranging from small, spring-fed, first-order streams to tiny trickles of water draining off forested hillsides, and appears to be a highly compatible intermediate host for the parasitic blood fluke Schistosoma malayensis that infects humans and other mammals in Malaysia.

The principal findings are that Ornithobilharzia and AustrobilHarzia form a sister group to the Schistosoma; mammalian schistosomes appear paraphyletic and 2 TrichobilharZia species, T. ocellata and T. szidati, seem to be synonymous.

Comparisons between adult worms recovered from laboratory mice with similar worm burdens at 50-56 days postinfection and 2 strains of Schistosoma malayensis revealed only minor morphometric differences among these 3 species, which indicate that S.malayensis is more closely related to S. mekongi than toS.
