Extracellular Vesicle Properties and Functions Are Defined by the Originating Cell's Fitness Status

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent studies have focused on the role of dying cells in modulating immune function and shaping the local microenvironment. Apoptotic cells release various extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes and microvesicles, and form apoptotic bodies through membrane blebbing.

Taxonomic Deception via Obvious Traits: Oversplitting in European Vallonia Risso, 1826 (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Valloniidae)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 37-51, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The status of the six traditionally recognised European Vallonia taxa is considered based on mtDNA and nDNA sequences from five independently sorting loci in combination with morphometric landmark analyses conducted on genetically confirmed shells. These analyses document that only two species are valid (V. costata and V.

Relação entre a patogenicidade de Schistosoma mansoni em camundongos e a susceptibilidade do molusco vetor: I. Infecciosidade das cercárias e carga de vermes Relationship between the pathogenicity of Schistosoma mansoni in mice and the susceptibility of the vector mollusc: I. Cercariae infectivity and worm burden

Revista de Saúde Pública, 1991
Foram pesquisadas as possíveis influências que os mecanismos imunes do molusco poderiam exercer no desenvolvimento dos esporocistos e no comportamento do verme adulto no hospedeiro vertebrado. Utilizaram-se duas linhagens de S.

Small‐Scale Field Trials to Assess the Molluscicidal Activity of Hagenia abyssinica Against Biomphalaria Snail Species

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Schistosomiasis remains a significant public health burden in many developing countries. Plant‐based molluscicides have gained considerable attention as alternatives for snail control, owing to their relatively lower toxicity and favorable environmental profile. However, prior to large‐scale application, plant‐based molluscicides require rigorous small‐

Trematode Infection Prevalence Increases With Snail Richness: Observations From a 4‐Year Study of Snail–Trematode Interactions

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We find that higher snail richness correlated with increased overall and generalist trematode infections, while specialist infections showed a similar but nonsignificant trend. The study also highlighted potential host‐switching events and the impact of long‐term sampling on parasite communities, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring of host ...

Resistência de Biomphalaria peregrina de Santa Rita do Sapucaí, Minas Gerais, a infecção com três cepas de Schistosoma mansoni Resistance of Biomphalaria peregrina from Santa Rita do Sapucaí, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, to infection with strain of Schistosoma mansoni

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1988
Descendentes do planorbídeo Biomphalaria peregrina, coletados em Santa Rita do Sapucaí, Minas Gerais, Brasil, foram expostos a miracídios de três cepas de Schistosoma mansoni: "LE" de Belo Horizonte, MG; "SJ" de São José dos Campos, SP e "AL" do Estado ...

The significance of the amoebocyte-producing organ in Biomphalaria glabrata [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2012
In molluscs, internal defence against microorganisms is performed by a single cell type, i.e., the haemocyte or amoebocyte. The origin of these cells in Biomphalaria glabrata was initially thought to be localised within the vasculo-connective tissue.

Pharmacological Inhibition of c‐Jun N‐Terminal Kinase Activity Exacerbates Liver Damage in Schistosoma mansoni Infected Mice

Liver International, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease affecting more than 250 million people worldwide. Eggs of the parasitic helminth S. mansoni cause major morbidity in the liver, spleen and intestine. Of note, egg‐released soluble antigens (SEA) induce the transcription factor c‐Jun in hepatocytes, promoting hepatocellular ...
