Cathaica is a genus of bradybaenid land snails occurring in China and is widespread in Shandong Province. Here we re-describe three species, C. pyrrhozona, C. fasciola and C. leei, and describe two new species, Cathaica fohuiensis Zhang sp. nov. and...

Seasonal patterns of Schistosoma mansoni infection within Biomphalaria snails at the Ugandan shorelines of Lake Albert and Lake Victoria (2023)
Journal Article

Intestinal schistosomiasis is hyperendemic in many sub-Saharan African countries. In Uganda, it is endemic at both Lake Albert (LA) and Lake Victoria (LV) and caused by S. mansoni that uses Biomphalaria snails as obligatory intermediate snail hosts....

Comparing shell size and shape with canonical variate analysis of sympatric Biomphalaria species within Lake Albert and Lake Victoria, Uganda. Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 199(3), 713–722. https://doi.org/10.1093/zoolinnean/zlad052

The Great African Lakes in Uganda (Lake Albert and Lake Victoria) are known habitats to several sympatric species of Biomphalaria, intermediate snail hosts of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni. However, accurate identification of snails by morph...
