Comparative study of three species of giant African land snail

Nigerian Journal of Animal Production, 2020
A 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 ...

Neuroeffector Connections of Giant Multimodal Neurons in the African Snail Achatina Fulica

Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology, 2005
A 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 ...

Immunological and immunochemical properties of the giant African snail (Acathina Fulica) hemocyanin

Immunochemistry, 1976
Abstract 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 ...

Responses of giant neurons to osmotic stress in the giant African snail, Achatina fulica

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1986
Abstract 1. 1. Responses of giant neurons in the suboesophageal ganglion to the ionic and osmotic changes were investigated in the giant African snail, Achatina fulica . 2. 2. Most neurons showed an initial stereotyped response. Diluted Ringer solution caused hyperpolarization in the membrane potential and induced lower activity, whereas ...
