[The reconstitution of the digestive epithelium in Lymnaea (Galba) truncatula Müller infested by larval forms of Fasciola hepatica L (author's transl)]. 1978

D Rondelaud, and D Barthe

In L. truncatula at the end of parasitic cycle, the reconstitution of the digestive gland consists in development of peripheral tubules with strait diameters. The tubular epithelium--like stomach and intestine epithelia--show cellular hyperplasia with anisocaryosis. The cellular activity--normal at first--increases then along the infestation period.

D008195	Lymnaea	A genus of dextrally coiled freshwater snails that includes some species of importance as intermediate hosts of parasitic flukes.	Lymnea,Lymnaeas,Lymneas
D004064	Digestive System	A group of organs stretching from the MOUTH to the ANUS, serving to breakdown foods, assimilate nutrients, and eliminate waste. In humans, the digestive system includes the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT and the accessory glands (LIVER; BILIARY TRACT; PANCREAS).	Ailmentary System,Alimentary System

D005210	Fasciola hepatica	A species of helminth commonly called the sheep liver fluke. It occurs in the biliary passages, liver, and gallbladder during various stages of development. Snails and aquatic vegetation are the intermediate hosts. Occasionally seen in man, it is most common in sheep and cattle.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
