“…Research on Gastropods' defence reactions is almost entirely devoted to interactions in the snail-trematode system (Lie et al, 1981;Bayne and Yoshino, 1989;Loker et al, 1989;Fryer and Bayne 1990;Amen et al, 1991;Yoshino and Vasta, 1996;Adema and Loker, 1997;Horak and Van der Knaap, 1997;Sapp and Loker, 2000; see review : Loker, 2010), but the concentration of researchers on the cellular and humoral processes in snails means that relatively little is known of the ability of snails to generate nonspecific reactions, analogous to fever, which may follow a similar course in all animals. Independent of the systematic position, many ectotherms developed a behavioural mechanism for changing body temperature, involving moving to warmer or cooler microhabitats (Portner 2002;Zippay et al, 2004).…”

“…These studies allowed workers to define several mechanisms involved in the snail defense against pathogens. For example, it was shown using echinostomes that the B. glabrata immune system relies on both humoral and cellular responses that cooperate in the recognition and elimination of invaders, with the haemocytes being the major effector cells (Coustau and Yoshino, 1994;Yoshino and vasta, 1996;Lardans and Dissous, 1998). In the 21th century, studies have been focused on the identification of the parasite and host proteins implicated in the interaction between both organisms.…”

Echinostomatidae (Trematoda) is the largest family within the class Trematoda. Members of this family have been studied for many years in relation to their utility as basic research models in biodiversity and systematics and also as experimental models in parasitology since they offer many advantages. Echinostomes have contributed significantly to numerous developments in many areas studied by parasitologists and experimental biologists. In this review, we examine the history of the echinostomebased studies from the beginnings to the present. For this purpose, we have divided the history of echinostomes into four periods (i.e. 18 th and 19 th centuries, first half of the 20 th century, second half of the 20 th century and the late 20 th and 21 th century) according to the types of studies performed in each of them. Moreover, we also briefly review the history of echinostome infections in humans.

“…The immune system of B. glabrata relies on both humoral and cellular factors that cooperate in the recognition and elimination of pathogens, including echinostomes (Loker and Bayne 1986;Yoshino and Vasta 1996;Coustau et al 2009). Initial experiments revealed that response of B. glabrata against E. paraensei comprises a complex mixture of plasma proteins with a wide range of molecular weights (Loker and Hertel 1987).…”

This chapter examines the most salient literature on the development of nonschistosome larval digeneans in Biomphalaria spp. (members of the superfamilies Clinostomoidea, Diplostomoidea, Echinostomatoidea, Paramphistomoidea, and Pronocephaloidea). For this purpose, the general biology of the nonschistosome trematode species that use Biomphalaria spp. as intermediate hosts are analyzed.Thereafter, the main features of these parasitic infections are studied with particular emphasis on topics such as the effect of the infections on the snail, the antagonism and/or competition between different digenean species in the snail, the immunology of the infection, and the genomic and proteomic aspects of these host-parasite interactions.
