The influence of salinity on certain aspects of the biology of Bulinus (Physopsis) africanus

The hatchability of eggs and the fecundity and survival of adult Bulinus (Physopsis) africanus was investigated in different salinities. Experimental results revealed egg masses and hatchlings to be considerably more sensitive to salinity than the adult snails. Egg-laying was recorded in salinities...

description The hatchability of eggs and the fecundity and survival of adult Bulinus (Physopsis) africanus was investigated in different salinities. Experimental results revealed egg masses and hatchlings to be considerably more sensitive to salinity than the adult snails. Egg-laying was recorded in salinities ⩽ 4·5 ‰ and further increases in salinity resulted in a progressive reduction in the hatching success up to a lethal concentration of 5·25 ‰ Survival of these hatchings was adversely affected by salinities as low as 1·0 ‰ and a salinity of 4·5 ‰ was lethal within 6 days. In contrast, adult survival was unaffected in salinities < 3·5 ‰ while further increases in salinity resulted in significant reductions in survival up to a lethal salinity of 8·7 ‰, which caused 100% mortality within 24 h. The survival of B. africanus infected with Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma mattheei was lower in the different salinities and control than that of their uninfected counterparts.
