Abstract:
Objective To observe the contents of acid phosphatase (ACP) of Oncomelania snails infected with Schistosma japonicum.Methods Both the blood lymphocytes of positive and negative Oncomelania snails were dyed with the histochemistry staining method and their ACPs were observed under a microscope. Results The contents of ACP in the positive Oncomelania snails increased, being significantly higher than those in the negative snails. Conclusion The contents of ACP increase in Oncomelania snails infected with Schistosoma japonicum and ACP may have the defence function.
