SUMMARY

Snails of the family Lymnaeidae act as intermediate hosts in the biological cycle of Fasciola hepatica, which is a biological agent
of fasciolosis, a parasitic disease of medical importance for humans and animals. The present work aimed to update and map the spatial
distribution of the intermediate host snails of F. hepatica in Brazil. Data on the distribution of lymnaeids species were compiled from
the Collection of Medical Malacology (Fiocruz-CMM, CPqRR), Collection of Malacology (MZUSP), “SpeciesLink” (CRIA) network
and through systematic surveys in the literature. Our maps of the distribution of lymnaeids show that Pseudosuccinea columella is
the most common species and it is widespread in the South and Southeast with few records in the Midwest, North and Northeast
regions. The distribution of the Galba viatrix, G. cubensis and G. truncatula showed a few records in the South and Southeast regions,
they were not reported for the Midwest, North and Northeast. In addition, in the South region there are a few records for G. viatrix
and one occurrence of Lymnaea rupestris. Our findings resulted in the first map of the spatial distribution of Lymnaeidae species in
Brazil which might be useful to better understand the fasciolosis distribution and delineate priority areas for control interventions.

KEYWORDS: Lymnaeids; Fasciolosis; Spatial distribution; Snails; Brazil.

RESUMO

Distribuição espacial de Lymnaeidae (Mollusca,


Basommatophora), hospedeiros intermediários de Fasciola
hepatica Linnaeus, 1758 (Trematoda, Digenea) no Brasil

Moluscos da família Lymnaeidae são hospedeiros intermediários no


ciclo biológico de Fasciola hepatica, agente etiológico da fasciolose,
doença parasitária de importância médica para humanos e animais. O
presente trabalho teve como objetivo datar e mapear a distribuição espacial
dos hospedeiros intermediários de F. hepatica no Brasil. Os dados de
distribuição das espécies de limneídeos foram obtidos das Coleções
