Resistance to cadmium and parasite infection are inversely related in two strains of a freshwater gastropod.

Environmental toxicology and chemistry - 1 Jul 2002

Salice Christopher J, Roesijadi Guritno

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypes that are either resistant or susceptible to infection by the trematode parasite Schistosoma mansoni exist in the tropical freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata. We tested the hypothesis that a cost of parasite resistance in B. glabrata is greater sensitivity to cadmium toxicity, using parasite-resistant and parasite-susceptible strains exposed to cadmium in the laboratory. Survival analysis showed...
