A new cold agglutinin from Achatina fulica snails
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1984 An electrophoretically homogeneous agglutinin was purified from the albumin gland of Achatina fulica snails using asialofetunin-Sepharose 4B as an affinity column. The agglutinin was found to be temperature sensitive; it agglutinated rabbit and human umbilical cord erythrocytes only at low temperature.

Expansion of Achatina fulica in Brazil and potential increased risk for angiostrongyliasis
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2007The explosive introduction of the snail Achatina fulica in Brazil illustrates the current concern with global changes favouring dissemination of infectious diseases. The mollusc is an important host for Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which occurs in Asia and the Pacific Islands and is a causative agent for eosinophilic meningoencephalitis.

Aggregation in snails, Achatina fulica
Behavioral and Neural Biology, 1980The spatial distribution of juvenile terrestrial snails was studied in clean, symmetrical plastic boxes. Environmental stimuli capable of biasing particular locations in the boxes were reduced to a minimum. Under these conditions, it was found that snails cluster significantly above chance levels.

Multiple forms of the hemocyanin of Achatina fulica
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1971Abstract Gel filtration of the hemolymph of the snail, Achatina fulica , in a column of Sephadex G-200 equilibrated with 0·025 M Tris-HCl at the same pH value, 8·5, as the hemolymph reveals the presence of at least two forms, A and B, of hemocyanin of different molecular weights which exist in a ratio of 3 : 2 and are not inter-convertible.

Structural analysis of a homogeneous polysaccharide from Achatina fulica
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2017Edible snails have been widely used as a health food and medicine in many countries. In our study, a water-soluble polysaccharide (AF-1) was isolated and purified from Achatina fulica by papain enzymolysis, alcohol precipitation and strong anion exchange chromatography.
