Summary

This study examined how Schistosoma infection affects biological, feeding, physiological, histological, and genotoxic parameters in freshwater snails Biomphalaria alexandrina and B. truncatus. Larval schistosome infection caused diverse biochemical, hormonal, genotoxic, and tissue damage changes in organs related to reproduction and fecundity.

Body Systems
Reproductive

These findings demonstrate that infection with larva species diverse biochemical, hormonal, genotoxic, and histopathological changes in the tissues responsible for fecundity and reproduction in B. alexandrina and B. truncates comparing with controls.
