| Aerolysins initially characterized as virulence factors in bacteria are increasingly found in massive genome and transcriptome sequencing data from metazoans. Horizontal gene transfer has been demonstrated as the main way of aerolysin-related toxins acquisition in metazoans. However, only few studies have focused on their potential biological functions in such organisms. Herein, we present an extensive characterization of a multigene family encoding aerolysins - named biomphalysin - in Biomphalaria glabrata snail, the intermediate host of the trematode Schistosoma mansoni. Our results highlight that duplication and domestication of an acquired bacterial toxin gene in the snail genome result in the acquisition of a novel and diversified toxin family.... |

| Abstract: The Middle Paranapanema River region of São Paulo, Brazil is home to significant diversity of Biomphalaria species and is very vulnerable to health and environmental impacts such as schistosomiasis. This study updates freshwater malacological surveys for ecosystems in one portion of the Middle Paranapanema River Basin, with emphasis on the genus Biomphalaria. Snails were collected from 114 distinct bodies of water between 2015 and 2018. Biomphalaria specimens were identified according to morphological and molecular characteristics, while animals in other genera (Drepanotrema, Lymnaea, Melanoides, Physa and Pomacea) were identified solely according to shell characteristics. A geographic information system was used to update intermediate host... |

| Foram estudadas a diversidade e a abundância de espécies do gênero Biomphalaria em córregos próximos aos Rios Paranapanema e Pardo (São Paulo, SP, Brasil), em locais antigamente associados à transmissão do Schistosoma mansoni, sujeitos ainda a drásticas variações na disponibilidade de água. Os dados confirmam a predominância de Biomphalaria glabrata (Say, 1818) em córregos do município de Ourinhos, localizados nas margens do Rio Pardo e do Rio Paranapanema. Em Ipauçu, distante 30 km de Ourinhos, a predominância de Biomphalaria tenagophila (Orbigny, 1835) é acompanhada da ausência de B. glabrata. Foram estimados os índices de Diversidade e Dominância de Simpson, que evidenciam uma distribuição variada, provavelmente associada com o substrato aquático onde... |
