Host—Parasite Interactions in Molluscs

  • Chapter
Invertebrate Immunology

Part of the book series: Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology ((PMSB,volume 15))

Abstract

The phylum Mollusca is second only to the Arthropoda in both number and diversity of living species. Representatives include not only the readily recognized gastropods (snails, slugs and limpets) and bivalves (e.g., oysters, mussels and clams) but also the ‘brainy’ cephalopods including octopus and squid, and more primitive representatives such as chitons. These animals occur in a huge variety of terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats. Interest in their pathogens and parasites arises primarily from the role of gastropods in the transmission of trematodes of medical and veterinary importance. Perhaps the most important of these are the human infecting schistosomes, estimated to parasitize 200 million people world wide. In addition, molluscs such as oysters, clams, mussels as well as gastropod “escargots” are increasingly being raised for human consumption, in both the developed and developing world. There are thus clear medical and economic needs to obtain a full understanding of molluscan pathogens, the capabilities of the molluscan immune systems, and how these interact to determine the outcome of a host-parasite encounter.
