Troglostrongylus brevior, a lungworm affecting wild felids, has been increasingly reported in domestic cats from Europe. Troglostrongylosis is a relevant disease that may result in a potentially life-threatening bronchopneumonia, especially in kittens. The life cycle of T. brevior is indirect with terrestrial gastropods acting as intermediate host. The

Dual Strategy for Immune Defense in the Land SnailCornu aspersum(Gastropoda, Pulmonata)
Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, 2011Immune defenses have been shown to be heavily involved in the evolution of physiological trade-offs. In this study, we compared the internal defense systems in two subspecies of the land snail Cornu aspersum that exhibit contrasting life-history strategies. The "fast-living" Cornu aspersum subsp.

Structural and conformational stability of hemocyanin from the garden snailCornu aspersum
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2019AbstractVarious aspects of biomedical applications of molluscan hemocyanins, associated with their immunogenic properties and antitumor activity, promoted us to perform structural studies on these glycoproteins. The stability and reassociation behavior of nativeCornu aspersumhemocyanin (CaH) are studied in the presence of different concentrations of ...

Renewal of conditioned tentacle lowering by circadian contextual cues in snails Cornu aspersum
Behavioural Processes, 2020Previous experiments using tentacle lowering conditioning in terrestrial snails Cornu aspersum have shown extinction and recovery of the conditioned response (CR) as a consequence of both inserting a delay between the extinction and test (spontaneous recovery) and of re-exposing the animal to the unconditioned stimulus after extinction (reinstatement).

Context dependence of the olfactory perceptual range in the generalist land snail Cornu aspersum
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2015Dispersal success in animals depends in part on their perceptual range, i.e., the distance from which they can acquire information about their environment. We studied how the olfactory perceptual range of a generalist species, the brown garden snail (Cornu aspersum (Müller, 1774)), varied under controlled conditions depending on the context in which ...

Saccharification of waste paper with cellulase from garden snails (Cornu aspersum)
International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2018Waste cellulose, a glucose-based biopolymer, is the most abundant global organic substance that could be developed as a resource for bioproduct development. Cellulase, a multi-component enzyme system, has the ability to bioconvert cellulose into glucose a fermentable sugar, and this process has been performed with the hydrolytic enzyme isolated from ...

Context specificity of associative learning in the snail Cornu aspersum
2023El presente trabajo es una investigación experimental de dos efectos contextuales del aprendizaje (inhibición latente o IL y renewal) en el caracol Cornu aspersum mediante procedimientos de Condicionamiento Clásico. La exposición repetida a un estímulo condicionado o EC (olor) sin consecuencia alguna antes de usar ese EC en un condicionamiento de ...

The invasive land snail Cornu aspersum possesses a low ability to supercool (c. -5 degrees C in winter) and survives only minimal ice formation in its body fluids, what may limit its expansion to colder environments. In the present study, we investigated the influence of acclimation and starvation on its supercooling ability.
