“…The capacity of the inner defense system (IDS) of that host to destroy the parasite is one of the factors that may determinate Biomphalaria susceptibility to S. mansoni infection (Souza et al 1997, Martins-Souza et al 2003. The IDS of Biomphalaria remains not completely understood, but it is well known that it is composed of cellular elements named hemocytes, and soluble components that could directly affect the larvae and/or act on the recognition of the parasite and activation of hemocytes.…”

“…SOUZA et al 15 studied B. straminea and B. tenagophila exposed to miracidia and could observe inflammatory diffused reactions with encapsulated sporocysts by amebocytes. This cellular reaction suggests a low susceptibility and a delay on the parasite development into the snail, which increases the prepatent period making the diagnosis through light exposure very difficult.…”

“…1 Differences in susceptibility of these snail species are strongly related to the capacity of their defense system to encapsulate and destroy the parasites. [2][3][4][5] Even though B. straminea and B. tenagophila are present in Argentina, there are no reports on the presence of S. mansoni in this country so far. 6 In our laboratory, we maintain a colony of B. straminea from the locality of San Miguel, Corrientes province, Argentina.…”
