Biomphalaria glabrata metallothionein

, 2017
The wild-type metallothionein (MT) of the freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata and a natural allelic mutant of it in which a lysine residue was replaced by an asparagine residue, were recombinantly expressed and analyzed for their metal-binding features with respect to Cd, Zn and Cu, applying spectroscopic and mass-spectrometric methods. In addition,

Climate and urbanization drive changes in the habitat suitability of Schistosoma mansoni competent snails in Brazil

Nature Communications
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by Schistosoma parasites. Schistosoma are obligate parasites of freshwater Biomphalaria and Bulinus snails, thus controlling snail populations is critical to reducing transmission risk. As snails are

Selection of strains of Biomphalaria tenagophila and Biomphalaria glabrata to improve susceptibility to Schistosoma mansoni

, 1978
Utilizando um esquema de seleção individual em progenies autofecundadas, foram obtidas, após quatro gerações, populações de Biomphalaria tenagophila e de Biomphalaria glabrata, altamente suscetíveis às linhagens do Schistosoma mansoni do Vale do Rio Paraíba do Sul, SP e de Belo Horizonte, MG (Brasil), respectivamente.
