Toxicity testing relies heavily on animals, especially rodents as part of the non-clinical
laboratory testing of substances. However, the use of mammalians and the number of …

Lymnaea stagnalis, also referred to as great or common pond snail, is an abundant and
widespread invertebrate species colonizing temperate limnic systems. Given the species …

Background The high production volume of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) may lead to
high pressure on the environment, and a scientific assessment of ENMs that bioaccumulate …

Chronic lead (Pb) toxicity tests with Brachionus calyciflorus, Chironomus tentans, and

As compared to other groups of aquatic gastropods, documented examples of endocrine
disruption in pulmonates are rather limited. This is quite surprising because the endocrine …

Elevated environmental levels of elements originating from anthropogenic activities threaten
natural communities and public health, as these elements can persist and bioaccumulate in …

eliminated at wastewater treatment plants, they belong to a group of emerging contaminants …

A freshwater invertebrate egg development and hatching toxicity test with an Indian
freshwater pulmonate snail, Lymnaea luteola, comprising the following developmental …

Physiological and biochemical responses of the pulmonate mud snail, Amphibola crenata,
