The freshwater apple snail Pomacea canaliculata has become a major crop pest in southeast Asia and Hawai'i and threatens natural wetland habitats in these regions and elsewhere. The limits of the distributions of the two snails in East and South‐East Asia differ. Together, our findings demonstrate that microbiota comparisons across native and invasive populations can reveal the impact of a long coevolutionary history and specialization of microbes in the native host range, as well as new associations occurring after invasion. https://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/factsheet.aspx?SpeciesID=1008, https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-015-1036-6, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10530-019-02179-3.

Wang QP, Chen XG, Lun ZR. Consistent with the enemy release hypothesis (1) P. antipodarum was not infected by trematodes at 80% of the sites and, relative to native snails, had low prevalence (4–5%) at the remaining sites, (2) across all sites, mean prevalence of trematodes was nine times lower in P. antipodarum than in co-occurring native snails and, (3) P. antipodarum were infected by half or fewer of the trematode taxa that infected co-occurring native snails.

We used high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing of New Zealand (native) and European (invasive) populations of the freshwater snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum and found that while invaders do carry over some core microbial taxa from New Zealand, most of their microbial community is distinct. Linkage between cold hardiness and desiccation tolerance was examined in an invasive freshwater apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata, collected from locations in three different climatic zones.

Late last week our friend Henry Fieldseth sent us an article from the Minneapolis Star Tribune (6Nov07, pasted below) attributing the death of thousands of waterfowl in a local lake to infections by trematode worms, with the "banded mystery snail" (Viviparus georgianus) indicted as a co-conspirator. They have an operculum (”trapdoor”) covering the opening, which is missing when the snail is dead and the shell is empty.

Florida is home to several species of Pomacea apple snails including one native species, the Florida apple snail, and four exotics native to South America. Cowie (in press b) listed Rabbit Snails, also known as Elephant Snails, are large freshwater snails that got their nicknames from the unique shape of their head. Invasive Freshwater Snail, China To the Editor: Pomacea canalic-ulata, an invasive freshwater snail na-tive to South America, was fi rst intro-duced as a food to Taiwan in1979 and then to Mainland China in 1981 (1). The first sign of apple snail invasion into new bodies of water is often the appearance of bright pink egg masses laid on structures and plants emerging from the water (Photo 1). We lay essential groundwork for understanding how microbial relationships affect invasion success and how microbes may be utilized in the control of invasive hosts. Correspondence to Aquat Sci 74:375–383, CAS  However, despite the large geographic scale of our survey (32 rivers sampled) and the large number of sites that we visited (n = 82), few sites had either enough snails or trematode parasites in native snails to be informative.

Department of Natural Resources Aquatic Nuisance Species team and its partner organizations are currently dealing with the highly invasive island applesnail, Pomacea insularum, which was recently discovered in a retention pond just southeast of Socastee, South Carolina.

This species is a threat to our freshwaters and may compete with and displace native invertebrates. @inproceedings{Nadasan2013TheIP, title={The invasive potential of the freshwater snail Radix rubiginosa recently introduced into South Africa. Also, native snails may facilitate population growth in P. antipodarum because it feeds on the eggs of native snails while invasive populations establish (Alonso & Castro‐Díez, 2012). The enemy release hypothesis postulates that non-native species establish and become abundant because coevolved enemies from the native range are missing or greatly reduced in the introduced range. The invasive apple snail Pomacea canaliculata is known as an omnivorous species, but there are only few reports of its predation. Thus, our conclusions are based on a small number of sites (n = 10). Invasive populations of New Zealand mudsnails are available in the River Thames, and Chinese mystery snails have recently established in the Pevensey Levels. 1.

Apple snails can grow to be fairly large, up to 6 inches (15cm) in diameter. Deliberately introduced as a potential human food resource, it has also been proposed as a possible biocontrol agent against aquatic weeds. Apple Snail – the apple snail is one of the most common species of snail kept in the freshwater aquarium. This finding highlights that invasions can result in the formation of novel symbioses.

So if even one pond snail manages to make its way into your aquarium, you will soon be dealing with hundreds – if not thousands of these snails. Two subfamilies occur in North America.
