Potential marker enzymes and metal–metal interactions in Helisoma duryi and Lymnaea natalensis exposed to cadmium

In this study, we investigate the effects of exposure to cadmium and copper on Lymnaea natalensis and Helisoma duryi. The snails were dosed with Cd 2+ or Cu 2+ for a period of 96 h. Snails dosed with Cd accumulated the metal significantly ( P
