List Of Non-marine Molluscs Of Martinique
The non-marine molluscs of Martinique are a part of the molluscan fauna of Martinique ( wildlife of Martinique). Martinique is a Caribbean island in the Lesser Antilles. A number of species of non-marine molluscs are found in the wild in Martinique. There are at least 88 species of gastropods (10 native freshwater gastropods and 7 species of introduced freshwater gastropods, 60 species of land gastropods) and 3 species of freshwater bivalve living in the wild.

Melanoides Tuberculata
The red-rimmed melania (''Melanoides tuberculata''), also known as Malayan livebearing snails or Malayan/Malaysian trumpet snails (often abbreviated to MTS) by aquarists, is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, a parthenogenetic, aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Thiaridae. The common name comes from the presence of reddish spots on the otherwise greenish-brown shell. The species name is sometimes spelled ''Melanoides tuberculatus'', but this is incorrect because ''Melanoides'' Olivier, 1804 was clearly intended to be feminine because it was combined with the feminine specific epithet ''fasciolata'' in the original description."Genus: ''Melanoides''" ''Molluscs of central Europe'', accessed 19 April 2011.

Biomphalaria Straminea
''Biomphalaria straminea'' is a species of air-breathing freshwater snail, an aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails. This snail is a medically important pest, because an intermediate host for the parasite '' Schistosoma mansoni'' and a vector of schistosomiasis. The history of these discoveries was summarized by Paraense (2001). The shell of this species, like all planorbids is sinistral in coiling, but is carried upside down and thus appears to be dextral. Distribution ''Biomphalaria glabrata'' is a Neotropical species. It occurs in: * Caribbean: Saint Lucia – reported since 1993 * northeast of Brazil This species has recently expanded its native range. As an introduced species, it occurs in: * Hong Kong and Southern China - firstly collected in 1973 in the Lam Tsuen valley in Hong Kong, in has now been identified at a number of locations in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province.

Biomphalaria Glabrata
''Biomphalaria glabrata'' is a species of air-breathing freshwater snail, an aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails. ''Biomphalaria glabrata'' is an intermediate snail host for the trematode ''Schistosoma mansoni'', which is one of the main schistosomes that infect humans. This snail is a medically important pest, because of transferring the disease intestinal schistosomiasis, the most widespread of all types of schistosomiasis. The parasite ''Schistosoma mansoni'' (which these snails and other ''Biomphalaria'' snails carry) infects about 83.31 million people worldwide. ''Biomphalaria glabrata''/''Schistosoma mansoni'' provides a useful model system for investigating the intimate interactions between host and parasite. There is a great deal of information available about this snail, because it has been, and continues to be, under intensive study by many malacologists, parasitologists and other researchers, on account of its medi ...

Planorbidae
Planorbidae, common name the ramshorn snails or ram's horn snails, is a family of air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropod molluscs. Unlike most molluscs, the blood of ram's horn snails contains iron-based hemoglobin instead of copper-based hemocyanin. As a result, planorbids are able to breathe oxygen more efficiently than other molluscs. The presence of hemoglobin gives the body a reddish colour. This is especially apparent in albino animals. Being air breathers like other ''Panpulmonata'', planorbids do not have gills, but instead have a lung. The foot and head of planorbids are rather small, while their thread-like tentacles are relatively long. Many of the species in this family have coiled shells that are planispiral, in other words, the shells are more or less coiled flat, rather than having an elevated spire as is the case in most gastropod shells. Although they carry their shell in a way that makes it appear to be dextral, the shell of coiled pl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
