morphology of biomphalaria glabrata hemocytes and their interaction with miracidium of shistosoma mansoni

چکیده
schistosomiasis is the second most common parasitic cause of death, after malaria. biomphalaria glabrata is a fresh water snail with medical importance since it is the intermediate host of schistosoma mansoni, an agent of schistosomiasis. the internal defense system of b. glabrata snails is mostly represented by circulating elements of the hemolymph, hemocytes, which are important factors in fighting against infections in snails. the purpose of this study was morphological study of b. glabrata hemocytes and their interaction with miracidia of schistosoma mansoni. b. glabrata hemolymph was collected by heart puncture and a differential count of hemocytes was done in dyed preparations. dyeing with giemsa revealed two cell types: type 1, hemocytes with basophilic nucleus, little cytoplasm and sub-spherical shape and type 2, nucleated hemocytes, uniformly basophilic and spherical shape. hemocytes showed cytoadherence and encapsulation after 1 h of miracidium-hemocyte incubation. these results could be of concern in the control programs of schistosomiasis.

Ultrastructural study of the in vitro interaction between Biomphalaria glabrata hemocytes and Schistosoma mansoni miracidia.
Biomphalaria glabrata and Schistosoma mansoni relationship was studied by light microscopy (LM) and freeze-fracture replica technique (FFR). We observed very thin cytoplasmic extensions of hemocytes in the LM, which then surround immobilize the miracidia. FFR images showed that the contact site between hemocytes cytoplasmic extensions and the external tegumentary coat involved only superficial ...
متن کاملInteraction of Schistosoma mansoni Sporocysts and Hemocytes of Biomphalaria
Human infection by Schistosoma mansoni affects more than 100 million people worldwide, most often in populations of developing countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The transmission of S. mansoni in human populations depends on the presence of some species of Biomphalaria that act as an intermediate host. The compatibility between S. mansoni and its intermediate host is influenced by be...
متن کاملDifferential lectin labelling of circulating hemocytes from Biomphalaria glabrata and Biomphalaria tenagophila resistant or susceptible to Schistosoma mansoni infection.
Lectins/carbohydrate binding can be involved in the Schistosoma mansoni recognition and activation of the Biomphalaria hemocytes. Therefore, expression of lectin ligands on Biomphalaria hemocytes would be associated with snail resistance against S. mansoni infection. To test this hypothesis, circulating hemocytes were isolated from B. glabrata BH (snail strain highy susceptible to S. mansoni), ...
متن کاملThe effect of early infection with Echinostoma paraensei on the interaction of Schistosoma mansoni with Biomphalaria glabrata and Biomphalaria tenagophila.
Infection caused by the trematode Echinostoma paraensei has been shown to interfere in the natural resistance to infection by Schistosoma mansoni. Biomphalaria glabrata is susceptible to infection, while Taim isolate Biomphalaria tenagophila is resistant to infection by S. mansoni. These two snail species were assessed for infection with E. paraensei two days after exposure to S. mansoni miraci...
متن کاملA contribution to the pathobiology of Biomphalaria glabrata hemocytes.
This study attempts to investigate the relationship between the hemocytes in the two compartments: circulating peripheral lymph and the connective tissues. The hemocytes are compared with the vertebrate macrophages and constitute the principal line of defense against external aggression. The hemocytes were counted in circulating hemolymph and their phagocytic capability was evaluated in Schisto...
متن کاملOn the origin of the Biomphalaria glabrata hemocytes.
A histologic, morphometric and ultrastructural study performed on Biomphalaria glabrata submitted to infection with Schistosoma mansoni miracidia failed to provide significant evidences that the so-called amebocyte-producing organ (APO) is really the central organ for hemocyte production. In infected snails no general reactive changes appeared in the APO, the mitoses were seen only occasionally...
