Achatina fulica haemocyanin-derived peptides as novel antimicrobial agents
BiochimieHaemocyanin-derived peptides were previously found in semi-purified fractions of mucus secretion from the snail Achatina fulica, which exhibited an inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus strains. Here, an in silico rational design strategy was employed to generate new antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from A.

The olfactory sensitivity of snails,Achatina fulica
Journal of Comparative Physiology ? A, 19821. A two-chambered tentacular olfactometer was constructed (Fig. 1). This device permits the local delivery of odors to the tentacular sensory epithelium, with independent control over concentration on the left and right sides. The occurrence of discrete head turns during locomotion, subject to criteria of latency and extent, was indicative of ...

Nematode cysts and larvae found in Achatina fulica Bowdich, 1822
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2009This study describes the morphology of the nematode cysts and larvae found in Achatina fulica (giant African snail) in Brazil. Sixty snails were collected in Mesquita, Rio de Janeiro State. Fourteen of the snails were naturally infected. The cysts were spherical, pink colored and measured 0.97 to 1.57 mm in diameter. In the majority of cases they had a

Fulicin regulates the female reproductive organs of the snail, Achatina fulica
Peptides, 2000Fulicin is a D-amino acid-containing neuropeptide that has been thought to control male copulatory behavior in the land snail, Achatina fulica. In the present study, we demonstrated that the vagina and the oviduct of Achatina were densely innervated by fulicin-like immunoreactive neuronal fibers.

Cardioexcitatory neurons in the snail Achatina fulica.
Journal fur Hirnforschung, 1998The excitatory motor unit of Achatina fulica is composed of five identified cardioregulatory motor neurons: three tonically active neurons (TAN-1, -2 and -3), a periodically oscillating neuron (PON) and a VG1 neuron. High frequency discharges in TAN neurons evoked slow depolarization waves. The PON elicited biphasic excitatory post synaptic potentials (

Cardiac inhibitory neurons in gastropod snail Achatina fulica.
Journal fur Hirnforschung, 1998Two inhibitory heart motor neurons (HI-1, HI-2) were identified in the visceral ganglion of the snail Achatina fulica. Both motor neurons were connected monosynaptically with the myocardium. Irregular action potentials composed a typical pattern of neuronal spontaneous electrical activity.
