[Influence of hydrocortisone on Schistosoma mansoni development in Biomphalaria glabrata].
The effect of hydrocortisone on the development of BH strain of S. mansoni in B. glabrata snails is evaluated. Snails in a randomly chosen group were submitted to hydrocortisone during four days. In the second day of hydrocortisone exposure, the snails were exposed, each, to ten S. mansoni miracidia. Another group, not treated with hydrocortisone, was exposed to miracidia and observed in the sa...
متن کاملExtra-cellular matrix changes in Schistosoma mansoni-infected Biomphalaria glabrata.
Reactivity of snails against parasites exhibits a primitive focal reaction, with encapsulation, phagocytosis and destruction of parasite larvae by macrophage-like cells - the hemocytes. This reaction mimics granulomatous inflammation seen in higher animals. However, different from the latter, little is known about the participation of extra-cellular matrix in such snail defense reactions. Norma...
متن کاملBiomphalysin, a New β Pore-forming Toxin Involved in Biomphalaria glabrata Immune Defense against Schistosoma mansoni
Aerolysins are virulence factors belonging to the β pore-forming toxin (β-PFT) superfamily that are abundantly distributed in bacteria. More rarely, β-PFTs have been described in eukaryotic organisms. Recently, we identified a putative cytolytic protein in the snail, Biomphalaria glabrata, whose primary structural features suggest that it could belong to this β-PFT superfamily. In the present p...

متن کاملDifferential Spatial Repositioning of Activated Genes in Biomphalaria glabrata Snails Infected with Schistosoma mansoni
Schistosomiasis is an infectious disease infecting mammals as the definitive host and fresh water snails as the intermediate host. Understanding the molecular and biochemical relationship between the causative schistosome parasite and its hosts will be key to understanding and ultimately treating and/or eradicating the disease. There is increasing evidence that pathogens that have co-evolved wi...
