Corbicula fluminea hemocytes phagocytosed infectious oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum in vitro. After 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min of incubation, averages of 35.8, 58.0, 69.7, 77.7, and 81.6% of the oocysts were phagocytosed by 24.3, 70.0, 78.5, 87.3, and 93.0% of the hemocytes, respectively. A single clam can retain by phagocytosis an average of 1.84 x 10(sup6) oocysts per ml of hemolymph. C. fluminea bivalves can serve as biological indicators of contamination of wastewaters and agricultural drainages with Cryptosporidium.
河蚬血细胞体外吞噬隐孢子虫微小隐孢子虫卵囊。孵育 15、30、60、90 和 120 分钟后,分别有 35.8%、58.0%、69.7%、77.7%和 81.6%的卵囊被 24.3%、70.0%、78.5%、87.3%和 93.0%的血细胞吞噬。一只河蚬平均每毫升血淋巴可通过吞噬作用保留 1.84 x 10(sup6)个卵囊。河蚬双壳类动物可以作为污水和农业排水中隐孢子虫污染的生物指示剂。
