- Аннотация: The caenogastropod mollusk Littorina littorea is a promising experimental model for comparative studies on host/parasite immune conflict. Several different digenean parasites use L. littorea as the first intermediate host, overcoming snail immune reactions by a wide range of tactics that are radically different among different digenean species and at different developmental parasite stages. The immune system of L. littorea is rather effective against digenean Himasthla elongata invasion, and even successfully established parasite induces a chronic host immune reaction, present at a low but stable level, that may be involved in the selection of derived parasitic clones in long lived self-sustaining infrapopulations (SSI) of rediae. An anti-digenean response in L. littorea is not systemic (non-generalized) yet tissue specific, mostly reliant on cellular rather than humoral reactions. The repertoire of immune pattern-recognizing receptors in the common periwinkle comprises diverse secreted and membrane-attached lectin molecules, as the main drivers of snail immune discrimination of digenean parasites. Comparative studies suggest that the characteristic vulnerability to digenean parasitism of L. littorea, and gastropods in general, is in part due the overall organization of immunity relative to other classes of molluscs, e.g. the immune strategy of bivalves seems to rely on less specific cellular reactions and a more generalized systemic humoral immunity. This difference may arise from the molecular features of the selective retention of their taxon-specific complement-like molecular complexes, which diverged in common ancestors of Bivalvia and Gastropoda.
