Integrated Analysis of Survival, Physiological‐Biochemical, and Transcriptomic Changes Reveals the Impact of Saline Stress on the Freshwater Snail Pomacea canaliculata

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
In this study, we investigated the effects of a range of salinity on the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata, a highly invasive species and an important pest of rice. To examine the molecular response of P. canaliculata to salinity, we recorded young snails grown in a saline water environment for 4 months and compared their physiological and biochemical ...

Proteomic profiles of Lissachatina (Heterobranchia) and Pomacea (Caenogastropoda) snails infected with Angiostrongylus cantonensis using 4D label-free quantitative analysis.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the causative agent of human eosinophilic meningitis, utilizes terrestrial and freshwater gastropods as intermediate hosts. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these host-parasite interactions remain unclear.
