Comparative study of three species of giant African land snail
Nigerian Journal of Animal Production, 2020A comparative study was carried out on three breeds of snails in South Eastern Nigeria to assess their growth performance and body morphology. The three breeds used were A. Fulica, A. achatina and A. marginata. Four experimental diets were formulated to contain Concentrate + Pawpaw (Diet I), Concentrate + Moringa oleifera (Diet II), Concentrate ...

Immunological and immunochemical properties of the giant African snail (Acathina Fulica) hemocyanin
Immunochemistry, 1976Abstract The immunological and immunochemical properties of the giant African snail ( Acathina fulica ) hemocyanin were studied and compared with those of the keyhole limpet ( Megathura crenulata ) hemocyanin. No 7S antibody could be detected 5 or 10 days after injection of crude Acathina fulica hemocyanin, whilst most of the antibody obtained in ...

Neuroeffector Connections of Giant Multimodal Neurons in the African Snail Achatina Fulica
Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology, 2005A new method of making preparations was used to analyse the neuroeffector connections of the paired giant neurons of the African snail Achatina fulica. These neurons were found to induce postsynaptic potentials in the muscles of the mantle, heart, the wall of the pulmonary cavity, and the muscular elements of the renal complex, the pericardium, the ...

Metabolic adaptations in aestivating giant African snail (Achatina achatina)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1983Abstract 1. 1. A slow but steady decline in glycogen content of the digestive gland, an initial decline followed by some increase in the glycogen content of the food muscle and little or no change in the glycogen content of heart muscle were observed in Achatina achatina following prolonged starvation and aestivation. 2. 2.

Induction of locomotor behavior in the giant African snail, Achatina fulica
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1986Abstract 1. 1. The locomotor-inducting factor of the giant African snail, Achatina fulica , was examined. 2. 2. Snails showed nocturnal circadian behavior in relative humidity at least over 50%. Although the rhythmicity was independent of light and darkness, it was disturbed easily by hydration, and hydrated snails continued to locomote ...

The giant African land snail, Achatina fulica, and other species
Journal of Biological Education, 1993Giant African land snails are easy to keep and breed In classrooms and laboratories, and provide excellent material for observations of Hying animals to support work in the biology attainment target of the science National Curriculum in England and Wales. As they are unusually large, the adult snails stimulate interest and can be used to Illustrate the

Pharmacological effects of the giant African snail Achatina fulica.
Tropical and geographical medicine, 1980The body fluid and tissue extract of the foot of Achatina fulica, the edible giant African snail, were investigated and quantified for pharmacological effects. Both reduced spontaneous locomotor activity in mice, protected them from death from amphetamine induced toxicity, prolonged hexobarbitone sleeping time and caused a depletion of catecholamines ...
