Resistance of <i>Biomphalaria alexandrina</i> to <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i> and <i>Bulinus truncatus</i> to <i>Schistosoma haematobium</i> Correlates with Unsaturated Fatty Acid Levels in the Snail Soft Tissue.

truncatus consistently and reproducibly correlated with snails showing highly significant (up to P < 0.0001) decrease in soft tissue and hemolymph content of the monounsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid, and the polyunsaturated fatty acids, linoleic, and arachidonic acids as compared to naïve snails.
