Aeromonas liquefaciens in the giant African snail, Achatina fulica

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1970
Abstract The etiology of a disease syndrome in the giant African snail, Achatina fulica , was studied. The bacterium Aeromonas liquefacians was repeatedly isolated and was shown to be of statistical significance in the disease. Following conjugation of fluorescein isothiocyanate with rabbit antibodies to a known culture of A.

Metabolic adaptations in aestivating giant African snail (Achatina achatina)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1983
Abstract 1. 1. A slow but steady decline in glycogen content of the digestive gland, an initial decline followed by some increase in the glycogen content of the food muscle and little or no change in the glycogen content of heart muscle were observed in Achatina achatina following prolonged starvation and aestivation. 2. 2.

Neuroeffector Connections of Giant Multimodal Neurons in the African Snail Achatina Fulica

Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology, 2005
A new method of making preparations was used to analyse the neuroeffector connections of the paired giant neurons of the African snail Achatina fulica. These neurons were found to induce postsynaptic potentials in the muscles of the mantle, heart, the wall of the pulmonary cavity, and the muscular elements of the renal complex, the pericardium, the ...

Immunological and immunochemical properties of the giant African snail (Acathina Fulica) hemocyanin

Immunochemistry, 1976
Abstract The immunological and immunochemical properties of the giant African snail ( Acathina fulica ) hemocyanin were studied and compared with those of the keyhole limpet ( Megathura crenulata ) hemocyanin. No 7S antibody could be detected 5 or 10 days after injection of crude Acathina fulica hemocyanin, whilst most of the antibody obtained in ...
