Hemocytes of Biomphalaria glabrata: Factors affecting variability

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1978
Abstract Variability in the hemocyte number of two geographic strains of Biomphalaria glabrata was studied. In each strain a logarithmic increase in hemocyte number associated with increasing shell size was observed. A two fold increase in circulating hemocytes occurred 2 hr following the exposure of a susceptible strain of B.

Biomphalaria glabrata in Haiti

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1985
Biomphalaria glabrata, an intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni, was first reported in Haiti in 1891 at one location in the Départment du Nord and in 1977 it was reported at several sites in one additional watershed. Our study identifies two additional locations each on a different watershed plus a third possible site.

Manganese superoxide dismutase from Biomphalaria glabrata

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2005
The investigation of the response of Biomphalaria glabrata snails to Echinostoma paraensei (digenea) at 2 days post-exposure by suppression subtractive hybridization yielded a partial sequence of the anti-oxidant enzyme manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Full-length MnSOD (669nt) from M line and BS-90 strains of B.

The snail (Biomphalaria glabrata) genome project

Trends in Parasitology, 2006
In 2001, ideas for a snail genome project were discussed at the American Society of Parasitologists meeting (New Mexico) and a snail genome consortium was subsequently established (the first consortium meeting was held in 2005). A proposal for sequencing the snail genome was submitted to the National Human Genome Research Institute, and Biomphalaria ...

Morphological characterization of hemocytes from Biomphalaria glabrata and Biomphalaria straminea

Micron, 2012
Biomphalaria glabrata and Biomphalaria straminea have been identified as intermediate hosts for Schistosoma mansoni. Several studies have found two cell types in the hemolymph of B. glabrata (hyalinocytes and granulocytes). However, there are no studies describing the hemocytes of B. straminea. With the aim of further describing the hemocyte subsets in

Internal Defenses of the Snail Biomphalaria glabrata

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1999
Injection of foreign particles (zymosan, latex beads, living bacteria) and substances (ferritine, horseradish peroxidase) in Biomphalaria glabrata induces the rapid appearance of tubular double-helical filaments in the hemolymph. This rapid induction may be due to the polymerization of precursor proteins of the hemolymph.

5-Hydroxytryptamine and Dopamine in Biomphalaria glabrata

The Journal of Parasitology, 1974
5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) have been isolated and identified in the tissues of the snail, Biomphalaria glabrata. The brain contained approximately 15 tAg, the cephalopedal region 2 ,ug, and the mantle region 1 jug of 5-HT per gram of fresh weight. The concentrations of DA in the brain and the cephalopedal region were of the same order

Amebocytic Accumulations in Biomphalaria Glabrata: Fine Structure

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 1982
Internal pathologic conditions in four stocks of Biomphalaria glabrata involve amebocytes. Most snails exhibiting these conditions are also nonsusceptible to infection with Schistosoma mansoni. Fine structure studies reveal that periaortic and atrial amebocytic accumulations show two responses that involve heart tissue: a generalized response in which ...

Glycogen metabolism in the snail, Biomphalaria glabrata

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1977
1. The distribution of glycogen in different tissues of the snail, Biomphalaria glabrata was determined; the cephalopedal region contained 15-17 mg, the mantle region 23-29 mg, the hepatopancreas 31-45 mg, and the ovotestis 50 mg of glycogen/g wet wt. 2.
