Aeromonas liquefaciens in the giant African snail, Achatina fulica
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1970Abstract The etiology of a disease syndrome in the giant African snail, Achatina fulica , was studied. The bacterium Aeromonas liquefacians was repeatedly isolated and was shown to be of statistical significance in the disease. Following conjugation of fluorescein isothiocyanate with rabbit antibodies to a known culture of A.

Biological Invasions, 2006
Beginning around 1800, but primarily since the early and mid-twentieth century, the giant African snail, Achatina (Lissachatina) fulica Bowdich, 1822, has been introduced throughout the tropics and subtropics and has been considered the most important snail pest in these regions. In Brasil, specimens probably brought from Indonesia were introduced into

Disease in the Giant African Snail Achatina fulica Bowdich
Science, 1956Abstract The giant African land snail A. fulica is a fast-growing polyphagous plant pest that has been introduced from its native range in East Africa to many parts of the world as a commercial food source (for humans, fish and livestock) and as a novelty pet.

A neoplasm in the giant African snail Achatina fulica
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1972Abstract Gross and histologic descriptions are given for a pedunculate tumor observed in the giant African snail, Achatina fulica. The tumor, situated at the inner juncture of the right tentacle and the dorsal surface of the head, was yellow-white, convered with a film of mucus, and approximately 5–6 mm in diameter.

GIANT AFRICAN SNAIL IN THE CARIBBEAN SUB-REGION
2008The giant African snail (GAS), Achatina fulica, is native to East Africa, and is now very widely distributed and established across the Indo-Pacific region. In 1984, this pest was first reported in the Caribbean sub-region in Guadeloupe and has spread since to several other countries.

Responses of giant neurons to osmotic stress in the giant African snail, Achatina fulica
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1986Abstract 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
