چکیده
A comparative assessment of physiological and cygotenetical parameters in Lymnaea stagnalis populations from Perstok lake and the inlet of Pripyat river with the highest in Belarus and moderate levels of radioactive contamination have been carried out. In 2004 f γ-activity of snails from river and lake amounted to 39.2 and 567.8 Bq kg, respectively, and β-activity – to 123.4 and 7055 Bq kg respectively. Snails from the lake were characterized by the increase of the cells with cytogenetic damages (micronuclei) and by the decrease of cells with interphase death and proportion of young cells in hemolymph. It indicates the unfavourable environmental conditions in the lake due to increased level of radioactive contamination. Nevertheless, the embryonic mortality in the progeny of the snails from lake was lower and the average population radioresistance of snails much higher than that in the river indicating intensification of the radioadaptation processes in populations from the lake.

Cytogenetical and haematological effects of long-term irradiation on freshwater gastropod snails in the Chernobyl accident Exclusion Zone
The cytogenetical effects of long-term irradiation in embryo tissue of gastropod snail (Lymnaea stagnalis L.) as chromosome aberration rate as well as change of structure, level of differentiation, death and cytogenetical stability of hemolymph cell population has been studied. Our researches were carried out during 1998–2007 in water bodies within the Chernobyl Exclusion. The absorbed dose rat...

Molecular detection of the infection with Fasciola hepatica in field-collected snails of Galba truncatula and Lymnaea stagnalis from West Azarbaijan, Iran
The liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, is considered as the most common cause of fasciolosis in both domestic livestock and human. This study was carried out to detect the prevalence of the larval stages of F. hepatica in the snails Galba truncatula and Lymnaea stagnalis in West Azarbaijan, Iran. Snail collection was performed through searching 28 freshwater habitats from May to December 2010. Fol...
