“…In 2005 Santos et al, using the technique of Induction Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), measured the content of metals in the hemolymph of B. glabrata. The authors determined the presence of aluminum, calcium, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, lead, and zinc [83]. The ion composition of molluscan hemolymph is unique for each individual, and great differences are observed between species; see Table 1.…”

Molluscan hemolymph is a unique kind of body fluid, which in many respects is analogous to human blood, although there are several crucial differences. Here, for the first time, we critically analyze the prospects for applications of this fluid in modern biomaterials science. Particular attention is paid to the biochemistry and chemistry of molluscan hemolymph, as well as to hemocytes and hemocyanins as key functional players within this unique biological fluid. We focus on hemocytes as multifunctional hemolytic cells involved in immune response, and especially in the biomineralization process. The next part of the review contains a discussion of molluscan shell formation and regeneration from different points of view. Finally, we consider the challenges, solutions, and future directions in the application of molluscan hemolymph for bioinspired material chemistry and biomedicine.

“…Mais especificamente, os metais e metaloides estão presentes usualmente nos sedimentos em ambientes aquáticos, sendo também encontrados solúveis em água, uma vez que as trocas entre essas fases são dinâmicas, tornando estes compostos biodisponiveis e capazes de serem incorporados à biota e, desta forma, causar efeitos adversos ao longo da cadeia alimentar (Costa et al, 2008, Shrivastava et al, 2003Conceição, 2004 (Santos et al, 2005). Além disso, a toxicidade de um elemento depende, também, da forma química na qual este se encontra, assim como da quantidade do mesmo que foi absorvida pelo organismo.…”

Human adenovirus (HAdV) is resistant to environment and can be used as a marker to detect fecal contamination. Considering the importance of freshwater snails in the aquatic environment, their use as concentrators for HAdV is a complementary tool for viral analysis of water. The goal of the study was to detect HAdV in snails and surface water collected from wetlands of the Sinos River (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) basin and to compare rates and viral loads found in both samples. HAdV was detected through real-time PCR. Total and fecal coliforms were detected by Colilert kit, and viral infectivity of positive samples of the DNA genome was performed in A549 human cell line. All wetlands presented bacterial and viral contamination, but no viral particle was considered viable. The wetland that showed lower fecal coliform mean was Campo Bom, and São Leopoldo (both cities in Rio Grande do Sul) was representative of the highest mean. HAdV was detected in water samples (53%), gastropods' hemolymph (31%) and tissues (16%). Wetlands proved to be environments already altered by human action. Water samples exhibited a higher frequency of HAdV detection; however, in some instances, the target viral genomes were only found in gastropod biological samples. This was a pioneer study in the use of freshwater snails for human enteric viral assessment thus demonstrating that the human organism can retain fecal contamination, complementing and assisting in microbiological water analyzes.
