Project description:Recent pandemic outbreaks confirmed the crucial role of early detection and more comprehensive knowledge of invasive species and infectious diseases. The freshwater snail Pomacea canaliculata is indexed among the most invasive pests in the world and it can be the intermediate host of the human parasitic nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis. Here, we investigated the changes in the proteome of the snail ampulla after the exposure to a nematode-based molluscicide.
Project description:The Pomacea canaliculata were exposed to two different heavy metal solutions, Cu and Pb, and through proteomics research, the molecular mechanism of tolerance of juveniles of Pomacea canaliculata to two different heavy metals was explored.
