studies on resistance in snails. 6. escape of echinostoma lindoense sporocysts from encapsulation in the snail heart and subsequent loss of the host's ability to resist infection by the same parasite.formation of amebocyte aggregates in the ventricular cavity of biomphalaria glabrata, induced by developing sporocysts of echinostoma lindoense, does not always result in destruction of the parasites, as the sporocysts occasionally escape encapsulation in the heart. when this occurs, a remarkable loss of protective capacity follows and the host snails become highly susceptible to reinfection with the same species--even more so than in control susceptible snails exposed for the first time. althou ...19761263043
studies on resistance in snails. 5. tissue reactions to echinostoma lincloense in naturally resistant biomphalaria glabrata.laboratory-raised juvenile albino biomphalaria glabrata snails show a wide range of natural resistance to a single infection with 50 or 100 miracidia of echinostoma lindoense. in the most resistant snails all sporocysts are destroyed in peripheral tissues soon after miracidial penetration. in less resistant snails some sporocysts reach the heart where they are encapsulated. in fully susceptible snails, all sporocysts rapidly migrate to the heart, where they mature and continue to develop. the gr ...19761263042
studies on resistance in snails. 4. induction of ventricular capsules and changes in the amebocyte-producing organ during sensitization of biomphalaria glabrata snails.formation of an amebocyte aggregate in the ventricular cavity of biomphalaria glabrata can be induced 30 hr or more after a single infection by irradiated or (less frequently) by normal echinostoma lindoense miracidia. the resulting amebocyte mass frequently encapsulated and destroyed the developing e. lindoense sporocysts within the ventricle. the constituent amebocytes of the capsule correspond in vitro and by staining characteristics to circulating amebocytes of uninfected snails, but with ad ...19761263041

alcohol dehydrogenase of biomphalaria glabrata (molusca: pulmonata): polymorphism, genetic analysis, and interspecific variations.alcohol dehydrogenase of biomphalaria glabrata has been characterized by electrophoresis, substrate specificities, and other physiochemical means. it exists as a multiple molecular form possessing a minimum number of three bands in ovotestis, five in digestive gland, and six in albumen gland. each organ shows characteristic electrophoretic forms which differ in substrate specificities and the response to the organomercurial inhibitor p-hydroxymercuribenzoate. mercaptoethanol treatment has no eff ...19761259706
studies on resistance in snails. 3. tissue reactions to echinostoma lindoense sporocysts in sensitized and resensitized biomphalaria glabrata.the resistance of biomphalaria glabrata snails that have been sensitized by various levels of irradiated or nonirradiated echinostoma lindoense miracidia increased after a second challenge infection with nonirradiated miracidia of the same species. this was demonstrated by increased suppression of migrating capacity of invading sporocysts, an accelerated host tissue reaction, and a greater tendency of snail amebocytes to flatten while attacking the parasite. three methods of elimination of invad ...19761255383
influence of diet on breeding and infectivity in mass cultivation of biomphalaria glabrata.under well defined laboratory conditions as troughs, room temperature, humidity, water and air supply biomphalaria glabrata was bred and kept. in feeding trials powder of pellets for mice and commercial fish food were used as high protein diet in comparison to poor protein diet consisting of lettuce only. the high protein diet resulted in more clutches and eggs per snail than the lettuce diet. also the yield of cercariae in the rish protein group was much higher than in the group fed on on lettu ...19761029648
glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase of biomphalaria glabrata (say , 1818) (mollusca: pulmonata). characterization and inheritance pattern.glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase of biomphalaria glabrata has been characterized by electrophoresis, kinetic properties and inheritance pattern. it exists as a single electrophoretic band with no polymorphism in the natural population studied during the present investigations. there are no organ-specific differences in electrophoretic pattern. the enzyme from the homogenates of various organs e.g., albumen gland, digestive gland, ovotestis and columellar muscle show similar physico-chemical par ...19761026128

genetic studies of pathologic conditions and susceptibility to infection in biomphalaria glabrata.during studies on the genetics of variation in susceptibility of b. galbrata to infection with s. mansoni, four types of proliferative amoebocytic accumulations have been observed. they occur in four different clonal stocks of b. glabrata, beginning as amoebocytic aggregations, namely, in the atrial cavity, pericardial cavity, periaortic space, and hemocoel between the stomach and intestine. persistent amoebocytic accumulations involve the sinuses around the stomach, intestine, and hepatopancrea ...19751072601
in vitro cultivation of cells and a microsporidian parasite of biomphalaria glabrata (pulmonata: basommatophora).cells from juvenile heart and gonads of b. glabrata have been grown in vitro for more than 1 year. these cell cultures are not actively mitotic but show other characteristics normal for metazoan cells in culture. they are tolerant of widely variable culture conditions. challenges with mitogens, mutagens, and altered cyclic nucleotide levels have failed to induce mitosis. a microsporidian parasite grows intracellularly in vitro. the ultrastructural details of sporogeny and pansporoblastic maturat ...1975829474

electrophoretic studies on the digestive gland esterases of some biomphalarid and lymnaeid snails.because of the problems encountered in the classification of snails of medical importance, biochemical methods have been sought to help clarify the situation. of these, the separation of the enzymes of adult snails by electrophoresis seems the most promising but very few attempts have been made so far to use the results for taxonomic studies. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the use of the enzyme systems of neotropical planorbid and of lymnaeid snails to elucidate their taxonomy ...19715317015

mathematical simulation of an aquatic snail population.techniques for controlling the intermediate snail hosts of schistosomiasis have had to be evaluated by field trials, since the complexity of snail population dynamics has so far made it impossible to predict the effects of these techniques and thereby avoid costly field testing.however, in laboratory studies with biomphalaria glabrata it was found that the fecundity of these snails was directly proportional to f/nv, where f is the total amount of food in the habitat, n the number of snails, and ...19675301741
the susceptibility of biomphalaria glabrata throughout its life-history to n-tritylmorpholine.this study was undertaken as part of a detailed investigation of the molluscicidal properties of n-tritylmorpholine (frescon, wl 8008). it is shown that the stage of development of biomphalaria glabrata has a pronounced influence on its susceptibility to n-tritylmorpholine. as the snails grow from hatching to a diameter of 3 mm, the lc(50) falls from 0.04 ppm to 0.02 ppm, but further growth results in a progressive increase in lc(50) until, at a shell diameter of 20 mm, it is 0.17 ppm. n-tritylm ...19675300047
