A bacterial artificial chromosome library for Biomphalaria glabrata, intermediate snail host of Schistosoma mansoni.
To provide a novel resource for analysis of the genome of Biomphalaria glabrata, members of the international Biomphalaria glabrata Genome Initiative (http://biology.unm.edu/biomphalaria-genome.html), working with the Arizona Genomics Institute (AGI) and supported by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), produced a high quality bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library. The ...
متن کاملHistamine Immunoreactive Elements in the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems of the Snail, Biomphalaria spp., Intermediate Host for Schistosoma mansoni
Histamine appears to be an important transmitter throughout the Animal Kingdom. Gastropods, in particular, have been used in numerous studies establishing potential roles for this biogenic amine in the nervous system and showing its involvement in the generation of diverse behaviours. And yet, the distribution of histamine has only previously been described in a small number of molluscan specie...
متن کاملIonotropic Receptors Identified within the Tentacle of the Freshwater Snail Biomphalaria glabrata, an Intermediate Host of Schistosoma mansoni
Biomphalaria glabrata (B. glabrata) is an air-breathing aquatic mollusc found in freshwater habitats across the Western Hemisphere. It is most well-known for its recognized capacity to act as a major intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni, the human blood fluke parasite. Ionotropic receptors (IRs), a variant family of the ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluR), have an evolutionary ancient f...
متن کاملGenetic variability and identification of the intermediate snail hosts of Schistosoma mansoni.
Studies based on shell or reproductive organ morphology and genetic considerations suggest extensive intraspecific variation in Biomphalaria snails. The high variability at the morphological and genetic levels, as well as the small size of some specimens and similarities between species complicate the correct identification of these snails. Here we review our work using methods based on polymer...
متن کاملStudies on host-parasite relationship between the Puerto Rican strain of Schistosoma mansoni and Biomphalaria snails.
Immunoelectrophoretic studies on common antigenicities were carried out by using rabbits sera immunized with the Puerto Rican strain of Schistosoma mansoni adult worms or eggs and antigens of several adult Biomphalaria snails and vice versa. As the result, S. mansoni adult worm extracts produced 8 bands both with extracts of Biomphalaria glabrata pigmentation and B. glabrata pigmentado, 3 to 4 ...
