Parasite-susceptibility phenotypes of F1 Biomphalaria glabrataprogeny derived from interbreeding Schistosoma mansoni-resistant and -susceptible snails.

Abstract excerpt

In an effort to investigate the 'flow' of parasite-resistance genes through laboratory snail populations, we determined the susceptibility of progeny snails from freely interbreeding parasite-susceptible and parasite-resistant parents. Five parental populations of Biomphalaria glabrata were used to generate the progeny snails. Three of them contained different proportions of Schistosoma mansoni-susceptible albino...
