Analysis of Circulating Haemocytes from Biomphalaria glabrata following Angiostrongylus vasorum Infection Using Flow Cytometry

Figure 3

Percentual number of small (R1) and large (R2) haemocyte subpopulations in 1 μm of haemolymph of Biomphalaria glabrata free from infection with Angiostrongylus vasorum (Ctl) and in 1 μm of haemolymph of B. glabrata exposed to 1,000 first-stage larvae of A. vasorum at different times of infection. Data are presented as mean number ± standard deviation of circulating haemocyte subpopulations. (*) Represents significant differences ( 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 ) in the number of haemocytes at each point of infection for the control group.
