“…As a first approach to investigate the molecular bases of this phenotype difference between strains, we used comparative proteomics with plasma collected from both strains. We revealed 13 plasmatic proteins exhibited significant differences in their apparent representativity (Vergote et al, 2005). The cDNAs corresponding to five of these proteins were identified.…”

“…In addition, analysis of their expression in a range of tissues showed that they are expressed by the albumen gland (Vergote et al, 2005). Post-infection expression studies of these five candidate genes showed that the transcript content of all candidates are stable in susceptible snails following infection, while they increase significantly in exposed resistant snails (Vergote et al, 2005). All the differences observed between susceptible and resistant snails could be linked to a differential regulation of genes expressed by the albumen gland.…”

“…And the two last proteins are two isoforms of an endo-1,4-mannanase that are known to randomly cleave within the β-1,4-mannan main chain of galactomannan, glucomannan, galactoglucomannan and mannan (Xu et al, 2002). All these proteins are secreted, more represented in the plasma of susceptible snails and these differences appear correlated with transcript levels (Vergote et al, 2005). In addition, analysis of their expression in a range of tissues showed that they are expressed by the albumen gland (Vergote et al, 2005).…”

“…and Bg histone H4 (see for discussion of their putative function). These different approaches taken together allowed identification of several candidate genes and suggested a potential involvement of tissues other than hemocytes in susceptibility/resistance processes (Vergote et al, 2005;. In order to investigate this latter point, we compared the transcripts of the two snail strains at the whole body level using a Suppression Subtractive Hybridization (SSH) approach .…”

Summary :The co-evolutionary dynamics that exist in many host-parasite interactions sometimes leads to compatibility polymorphism. This phenomenon is well documented in mollusc/trematodes interactions but its molecular base is unknown. In order to identify key molecules involved in this phenomenon, we developed several molecular approaches comparing compatible or incompatible strains of mollusc or parasite. These comparisons led to the identification of numerous candidate genes listed and discussed (some of them) in the present review.

Snails of the genus Biomphalaria are of significant medical importance with many species living in freshwater habitats associated with human settlements; many of these snail species are obligate intermediate hosts of the human blood fluke S. mansoni, the causative agent of hepatosplenic schistosomiasis. This parasitic disease continues to disrupt the lives of about 200 million people in over 70 countries and prevents these individuals from otherwise reasonable expectations of healthy and productive lives. Furthermore, it is estimated that within the developing world, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, more than 700 million people are at risk of becoming infected, despite the efforts to control transmission in human and snail populations by mass chemotherapy and the use of molluscicides. Several factors, such as the absence of a schistosome vaccine, the recent appearance of resistance to antischistosome drugs, and human activities that expand snail habitats, have increased the need for a better understanding of schistosome-snail interactions. In recent years, the application of new technologies has contributed to the accumulation of considerable new information on this topic that may be of great use to biomedical scientists.In addition to the impact of Biomphalaria spp. on public health, these snails are also interesting models for the study of other topics such as population biology, including genetics and demography, proteomics, invertebrate immunobiology, mating systems, and biogeography, among others. Biomphalaria spp. snails have been extensively used as experimental biological models contributing significantly to new developments in many areas studied by biomedical scientists. Extensive coverage of these topics is included in this book, also considering trematode species other than schistosomes.The aim of the present book is to provide an overview of the recent advances in the Biomphalaria spp.-larval trematode interactions, especially in Biomphalariaschistosome systems. Emphasis is placed on gaps in our knowledge that must be filled to gain a better understanding of the relationships in these host-parasite systems. This may be critical for a deeper knowledge of the transmission of schistosomiasis and other snail-borne parasitic diseases. Pref...
