Description

The width of the shell is 8 mm. [3] The height of the shell is 11 mm. [3]

Diploid chromosome number is 2n = 36. [3]

Ecology

This snail lives in permanent streams. [1] It can live in a water current that has a speed up to 0.86 m·s−1 based on laboratory experiments. [3]

The male part of the reproductive system is developed "slightly earlier" (protandry) in Bulinus jousseaumei. [3]

This species is an intermediate host for Schistosoma curassoni [3] and for Schistosoma haematobium . [3]

Schistosoma bovis is a two-host blood fluke, that causes intestinal schistosomiasis in ruminants in North Africa, Mediterranean Europe and the Middle East. S. bovis is mostly transmitted by Bulinus freshwater snail species. It is one of nine haematobium group species and exists in the same geographical areas as Schistosoma haematobium, with which it can hybridise. S. bovis-haematobium hybrids can infect humans, and have been reported in Senegal since 2009, and a 2013 outbreak in Corsica.
