This study aims to investigate the importance of the serum factors present in the plasma of resistant Biomphalaria tenagophila snails, when transferred to susceptible conspecific. Susceptible B. tenagophila (CF) received plasma from resistant B. tenagophila (Taim), and both were later infected with Schistosoma mansoni. We noticed that the plasma transfer showed an increase on the resistance of susceptible snails of about 86% when compared to the non-immunized group (p < 0.001).
本研究旨在调查抗性小泡螺血浆中存在的血清因子转移至易感同种个体时的重要性。易感小泡螺（CF）接受了抗性小泡螺（Taim）的血浆，随后二者均感染曼氏血吸虫。我们注意到，与未免疫组相比，血浆转移使易感螺的抗性增加了约86%（p < 0.001）。
