Immunological Parameters of the Pomacea lineata Spix, 1827 (Mollusca: Caenogastropoda) Exposed to Schistosoma mansoni Sambon, 1907

Acta Parasitologica, 2019
Pomacea lineata acts as the natural biological controller of Biomphalaria glabrata, the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni, as they are found in the same environment. However, there are no studies reporting an infection in P. lineata due to S. mansoni. Thus, this work investigated parameters related to the immunity of P.

Oxygen consumption of the amphibious snail Pomacea lineata; Influence of weight, sex and environments

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology A, Comparative Physiology, 1981
Abstract 1. 1. Under normoxic conditions at 25°C Pomacea lineata , free to move into or out of water, showed an increase in O 2 consumption with increase in body size (dry wt), the slope of the log-log plot of these two parameters being b = 0.76. 2. 2. The metabolic rate decreased with weight. 3. 3.

Evaluation of the toxic effect of endocrine disruptor Bisphenol A (BPA) in the acute and chronic toxicity tests with Pomacea lineata gastropod

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part - C: Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2017
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a plasticizer and a risk when it interacts with organisms, and can cause changes in the development and reproduction of them. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of BPA, by acute and chronic toxicity tests with neonates and adults of Pomacea lineata.

Assessment of Nutrient Value and Microbiological Safety ofPomacea lineata

Journal of Medicinal Food, 2015
Pomacea lineata is a fresh water shellfish that is utilized as food, medicinal portions, or licking remedies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional and microbiological aspects of P. lineata and spawning. The samples were collected in the Jaguaribe River (Paraíba, Brazil) during the rainy and dry seasons.

Developing the gastropod Pomacea lineata (Spix, 1827) as a toxicity test organism

Hydrobiologia, 2000
The authors describe a screening method to semi-quantitatively determine time independent LC 50s and ILC 50s. The protocol is based on the response of starved 4-day-old snails (Pomacea lineata). The neonates were exposed to paraquat and a textile mill effluent for 4–15 days without food.

Pharmacological assays on the isolated esophagus of an amphibious snail, Pomacea lineata (Spix, 1827) (mollusca, gastropoda, prosobranchia)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1990
Abstract 1. 1. Choline esters, cholinomimetic drugs, serotonin and histamine elicit sustained contractions in both the quiet and spontaneously active isolated esophagus of Pomacea lineata ; adrenaline relaxes it. 2. 2. On an equimolar basis, the actions of choline esters and cholinomimetic drugs decrease with the decreasing degree of their ...

Feeding and Growth of Apple SnailPomacea lineatain the Pantanal Wetland, Brazil—a Stable Isotope Approach

Isotopes in Environmental and Health Studies, 2002
Apple snails Pomacea lineata (SPIX 1827) are widespread in the tropical regions of Brazil as well as in the Pantanal wetland of Mato Grosso in the western part of the country. They have a key position in the Pantanal food web and serve as food for many animals e.g. fishes, birds, and caimans. However, little is known about their feeding preferences and
