چکیده
INTRODUCTION Planorbis planorbis (Ram's Horn Snail) is a species of air-breathing freshwater snail, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Planorbidae. It is one of the most common freshwater snails in Europe, occurs in numerous water body types with a preference for standing water such as ponds, swamps or lakes with slow moving or stagnant waters. As typical freshwater invertebrate it is commonly used as test species for ecotoxicological investigations of various chemicals including pesticides [1, 2]. The aim of this study is to be reveal the acute toxicity of cyclopentanespiro-5hydantoin (CPSH), cyclohexanespiro-5-hydantoin (CHSH), cyclopentanespiro-5-(2,4dithiohydantoin) (CPSDTH) and 1-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid (ACPCA) towards Planorbis planorbis.

The ram's horn snail (Planorbella trivolvis (Say)) is an intermediate host for a digenetic trematode (Bolbophorus confusus (Krause) Dubois) that has recently been discovered to be a significant problem in commercial channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus Raf) production ponds in the Mississippi Delta region in the USA. In these catfish ponds, the digenetic life cycle of this parasitic trematode i...

A definition of Biomphalaria helophila (Orbigny, 1835) is presented, based on examination of the shell and reproductive system of topotypic specimens and extended to a number of samples from other localities. The following nominal species and subspecies, collected from type localities, proved junior synonyms of B. helophila. Planorbis albicans Pfeiffer, 1839, Planorbis dentatus Gould, 1844; Pla...

Salivary gland cells of the pond snail Planorbis corneus produce a biphasic depolarizing-hyperpolarizing electrical response following the application of acetylcholine (ACh). Ion-substitution experiments have indicated that the depolarizing phase of the ACh response is produced at least in part by an influx of Na + , while the subsequent hyperpolarization results from the activity of an electro...

The following planorbid species were also found: Helisom...
