Effect of Biomphalaria straminea plasma in the phagocytosis of Biomphalaria glabrata hemolymph cells [PDF]
Mollusc defensive system that discriminates self from non self molecules, include fixed cells that can trap particles like endothelial cells, reticular and pore-cells, and circulating elements (WPW Van Der Knaap & ES Loker 1990 Parasitol Today 6: 175-182).

Estivação de Biomphalaria tenagophila (Pulmonata, Planorbidae) [PDF]
É relatado o encontro de Biomphalaria tenagophila estivada, em dois municípios do Estado de São Paulo (Brasil): Ubatuba e Conchas. Essa característica etológica foi percebida em 15 exemplares coletados em Ubatuba e 6 em Conchas. Os caramujos estavam enterrados em fendas do solo ressecado,e, em laboratório, voltaram a exibir vitalidade depois de ...
