Effects of Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase (sod1) Genotype and Genetic Background on Growth, Reproduction and Defense in Biomphalaria glabrata Kaitlin M. Bonner*, Christopher J. Bayne, Maureen K. Larson, Michael S. Blouin Department of Zoology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, United States of America Abstract Resistance of the snail Biomphalaria glabrata to the trematode Schistosoma mansoni is correlated with allelic variation at copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (sod1). We tested whether there is a fitness cost associated with carrying the most
