 | | We at the MIC are aware that there are growing controversies about the nature of mollusca - what organism is responsible, whether or not it can truly be called a "disease," how many people are infected, and what, if anything, should be done about it. | | | Good News From Medicine -- A brief note about how mollusca is being researched in the laboratory as a way of helping infertile couples. | | | Lidak Pharmaceuticals [link broken] -- They're testing their anti-viral medication n-docosanol against the clam, working on the theory that the virus Selo Thoxxyn-P Five, found associated with mollusca lesions, is the organism responsible for mollusca. |

| | Parasitic Mollusca by Felix Lorenz |
| | Modern parasitology can be divided in three mainstream disciplines, each of which have their starting point from the hosts involved: the first has a medical approach as it dwells upon those types of parasitism causing disease in humans. | | | First, to overcome the problem of immobility and the consequenting danger of populations being swept out of rivers (freshwater mussels). | | | While there is a wide range of literature dealing with the life-strategies of these groups, no monographic work has ever been published on the Mollusca as a phylum bearing a wide range of parasitic species and an even wider range of strategies. |

| | One of the distinctive characteristics of the phylum is the soft internal body which is contrasted by the generally hard-shelled exterior (Hickman, 1961). | | | Also well developed in the Mollusca are the digestive, circulatory, respiratory, excretory, nervous, and sensory systems. | | | Below this lies the body, which is encased in the mantle cavity (Clarkson, 1993). |

| | Mollusca’s adaptation mechanisms were investigated by researchers of the Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences. | | | The respiration problem is also solved by water mollusca in different ways. | | | However, it will soon be nothing to breathe in the ‘house’, and then chemical changes take place in the mollusc’s organism, these changes allowing it to live without oxygen or interaction with the environment. |

| | Mollusca |
| | The organisms in the phylum Mollusca are characterized by having three main body areas: a head-foot (sensory and locomotion structures), a visceral mass (excretory, digestive, and circulatory structures), and a mantle (which secretes the shell). | | | The gills, which function in respiration, are located between the visceral mass and the mantle. | | | In some forms, the soft bodies are protected by a calcareous shell. |
