The Utilization of Achatina fulica Mucus in Alginate Membrane as Wound Healing Accelerator and Anti- Infection Material

Indonesian Journal of Tropical and Infectious Disease, 2015
Wound should be covered with bandage that is called wound dressing. Most people use synthetic materials such as gauze dressing. Gauze has high absorption of NaCl, which is often used to cleanse the wound.

Biophysical, aestivation, Archachatina marginata, Archachatina papyracae, Achatina fulica

Nigerian Journal of Animal Production, 2020
The experiment was conducted to determine the changes in the biophysical parameters during starvation in three common species of land snails identified in Edo and Delta States. A total of 252 matured healthy snails comprising three species (Archachatina marginata,  Archachatina papyracae and Achatina fulica) were used.

Terrestrial molluscs of Pemba Island, Zanzibar, Tanzania, and its status as an "oceanic" island [PDF]

, 2010
Pemba is thought to have had a longer and/or stronger history of isolation than its better-known counterpart, Unguja. The extent to which the biota support this hypothesis of greater oceanicity have been debated.

A New Glycosaminoglycan from the Giant African Snail Achatina fulica [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996
A new glycosaminoglycan has been isolated from the giant African snail Achatina fulica. This polysaccharide had a molecular weight of 29,000, calculated based on the viscometry, and a uniform repeating disaccharide structure of -->4)-2-acetyl,2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranose (1-->4)-2-sulfo-alpha-L-idopyranosyluronic acid (1-->.

Insights Into Macrophage Polarization and M1/M2 Balance in Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
This graphical abstract illustrates pharmaceutical agents that modulate M1/M2 macrophage polarization in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). M1 macrophages (red) drive inflammation, whereas M2 macrophages (blue) promote tissue repair. In DFUs, persistent M1 predominance contributes to chronic non‐healing. Five key agents targeting this imbalance are depicted:

The Lymnaea Cardioexcitatory Peptide (LyCEP) Receptor: A G-Protein–Coupled Receptor for a Novel Member of the RFamide Neuropeptide Family [PDF]

, 1998
A novel G-protein–coupled receptor (GRL106) resembling neuropeptide Y and tachykinin receptors was cloned from the molluscLymnaea stagnalis. Application of a peptide extract from the Lymnaea brain to Xenopus oocytes expressing GRL106 activated a calcium ...

THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL MICROSTRUCTURE OF THE ACHATINA FULICA EPIPHRAGM [PDF]

Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2002
Microstructural characterization of Achatina fulica Bowdich, 1822 epiphragms and mucus secretions was performed to address two questions: what are the structure and composition of the reinforcing inorganic phase in the epiphragms, and what enables a durable epiphragm to form quickly in comparison to other biomineralized materials?

Diversity of Terrestrial Malacofauna, Favorable Habitats, and Relationships With Mollusk Size in Urban Environments of Sergipe, Northeastern Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
The invasive exotic snail Achatina fulica dominates the terrestrial mollusk community in the city of Aracaju, occurring in all sampled urban habitats and being the most abundant species among the individuals collected. In addition, it exhibited a larger shell size and greater total weight, particularly in back gardens. ABSTRACT Terrestrial mollusks can
