SDS-PAGE analysis of tissue soluble proteins of Biomphalaria alexandrina and rediae, cercariae, metacercariae and adult worms of Echmostoma liei was done for determination of the degree of compatibility between the snail and each of intramolluscan larval stages and adult worms of the parasite. The highest degree of similarity was observed between B. alexandrina and metacercanae of E. liei. However, the lowest degree of similarity was noted between B. alexandrina and adult worms of E. lieu On the other hand, the similarity coefficient between B. alexandrina and E. liei rediae was higher than that between the snail and E. liei cercariae.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
