Changes in energetic metabolism of Biomphalaria glabrata (Mollusca, Planorbidae) in response to exogenous calcium

Braz. j. biol; 77 (2), 2017
Abstract Calcium is considered an essential element for the metabolism of aquatic snail Biomphalaria glabrata (Say, 1818), intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni Sambon, 1907 in Brazil, and represents a limiting factor to its distribution and adaptation to the environment. This study investigated the e...

Incorporaçäo e eliminaçäo de césio-134 pelo caramujo Biomphalaria glabrata (Say, 1818)

A incorporaçiao e eliminaçäo de Cs-134, produzido no reator IEA-R1 do IPEN, foram observadas em caramujos adultos de água doce. Duas atividades de Cs-134 foram empregadas: 3.700 e 18.500 Bq/1. As contagens foram feitas em um analisador monocanal e foram registrados o número de desovas e de embriöes...
