An integrated proteomic and transcriptomic analysis of perivitelline fluid proteins in a freshwater gastropod laying aerial eggs
(Elsevier Science, 2017-01)
Proteins of the egg perivitelline fluid (PVF) that surrounds the embryo are critical for embryonic development in many animals, but little is known about their identities. Using an integrated proteomic and transcriptomic ...
Insights into Embryo Defenses of the Invasive Apple Snail Pomacea canaliculata: Egg Mass Ingestion Affects Rat Intestine Morphology and Growth
(Public Library of Science, 2014-11)
Background: The spread of the invasive snail Pomacea canaliculata is expanding the rat lungworm disease beyond its native range. Their toxic eggs have virtually no predators and unusual defenses including a neurotoxic ...
Egg perivitelline fluid of the invasive snail Pomacea canaliculata affects mice gastrointestinal function and morphology
(PeerJ, 2018-07)
Background. Species beloging to the genus Pomacea (Ampullariidae), often referred as apple snails are freshwater, amphibious snails native to South, Central and North America. Some species such as P. canaliculata have ...
Biosynthesis in the Albumen Gland-Capsule Gland Complex Limits Reproductive Effort in the Invasive Apple Snail Pomacea canaliculata
(Marine Biological Laboratory, 2018-08)
High fecundity often contributes to successful invasives. In molluscs, this may be facilitated by the albumen gland-capsule gland complex, which in gastropods secretes the egg perivitelline fluid that nourishes and protects ...
Non-digestible proteins and protease inhibitors: Implications for defense of the colored eggs of the freshwater apple snail pomacea canaliculata
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2019-02-01)
Apple snails (Pomacea Perry, 1810) are successful invaders that cause ecological perturbations, economic losses, and medical issues. A peculiar trait of this snail is a high biological potential, related to the absence of ...
