| Abstract: | Stimulation by exposure to Echinostoma caproni miracidia triggered the activity of the amoebocyte-producing organ (APO) of sensitized Biomphalaria glabrata snails. This organ is the site of formation of cells which subsequently migrate to all parts of the body. Amoebocyte production started very soon after exposure, and was maximal at 3 or 4 days; it then declined very fast and, at 6–7 days, the organ had almost returned to its initial state. |
