Resistance to Schistosoma mansoni is correlated with the number of spreading granulocytes in Biomphalaria glabrata

Creator:

Callahan, Piera M., Larson, Maureen K., Bender, Randall C., and Bayne, Christopher J.

Abstract:

Molluscan internal defenses rely heavily on circulating hemocytes. In most cases, encounters with large foreign bodies result in recognition by hemocytes followed by spreading of these defense cells over the object’s surface. The resulting encapsulation concentrates the force of the hemocytes’ assault on the foreign object. B. glabrata snail lines...

Effects of Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase (sod1) Genotype and Genetic Background on Growth, Reproduction and Defense in Biomphalaria glabrata

Creator:

Bonner, Kaitlin M., Bayne, Christopher J., Larson, Maureen K., and Blouin, Michael S.

Abstract:

Resistance of the snail Biomphalaria glabrata to the trematode Schistosoma mansoni is correlated with allelic variation at copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (sod1). We tested whether there is a fitness cost associated with carrying the most resistant allele in three outbred laboratory populations of snails. These three populations were derived from the...
