Susceptibility of Biomphalaria glabrata to infection with Echinostoma paraensei: correlation with the effect of parasite secretory-excretory products on host hemocyte spreading.

Abstract excerpt

Susceptibility of the snail Biomphalaria glabrata to infection with the digenetic trematode Echinostoma paraensei was correlated with the ability of secretory-excretory products (SEP) derived from sporocysts of this parasite to interfere with the spreading behavior of host hemocytes in an in vitro assay. In 15 separate experiments, the prevalence of infection achieved by miracidia was positively correlated (C.C....
