Does the trematode Centrocestus formosanus affect the locomotory activity of the mollusc Melanoides tuberculatus?
The trematode C. formosanus affects the locomotory activity of the mollusc M. tuberculatus by reducing its movement and causing it to exhibit an irregular pattern of activity, both of which are independent of the snail's standard length.
These findings suggest that HMT modulates the effects of exogenous histamine and endogenously released histamine induced by antigen challenge on plasma extravasation in the airway in guinea pigs in vivo.
