flatworm

Through an online investigation, she came to know that it is New Guinea flatworm. The Texas Invasive Species Institute (TISI) also confirmed it later.

For more than a century, scientists have witnessed the effects of this cellular marvel, which enables creatures such as the planarian flatworm to perform death-defying feats like re-growing a severed head.

In a paper that appeared online March 15 in the journal Science, the researchers describe a model for planarian (flatworm) eye regeneration that is governed by three principles acting in concert, which inform how progenitor cells behave in regeneration.

These garden snails fell victim to a parasitic flatworm. This happens when snails eat bird poop with flatworm eggs inside (see A Parasite's Life, right).

When a flatworm is cut in half, or when an organism is cloned via somatic cell nuclear transfer, a single organism gives rise to two distinct organisms.

The project entitled "The Flatworm Functional Genomics Initiative (Fugi)" will develop gamechanging research tools for the study and manipulation of parasitic flatworm species responsible for the devastating diseases echinococcosis (hydatid disease) and schistosomiasis (bilharzia), and is set to propel flatworm research into the 21st century.

cells can drown their individuality and abandon their free-living abilities in order to form a multicellular organism, which may be as simple as a flatworm, or as complicated as a giant sequoia, a whale, or a man.

Yet "they're about as closely related to the Asian species as you and I are to a flatworm," Bauer says.

As McConnell later wrote: "It was while we were running our first experiment, that Thompson and I wondered aloud, feeling rather foolish as we did so, what would happen if we conditioned a flatworm, then cut it in two and let both halves regenerate?

Schistosomiasis (also known as Bilharzia, snail fever, or Katayama fever) is caused by flatworm parasites that live in the blood vessels of the bladder and intestines.
