Sumario:Our study will utilize as experimental model the freshwater snail Pomacea canaliculata (Architaenioglossa, Ampullariidae), which is an intermediate host of human parasites and a notorious invasive species also used as bioindicator of environmental pollution. The project proposes studies of the effect of organotins on reproductive processes of this apple snail. 1. To know the internal structure of the seminal receptacle, the site of sperm storage and where oocytes are fertilized. 2. To study the interaction of organotins and the development of the female rudimentary copulatory apparatus, organs that continues to grow in the adult unexposed females. 3. To determine the relation between organotin compounds and the nervous system, because of the possible inhibitory effect on the oviposition and sexual behavior.
