The ultrastructural study of adultLymnaea truncatulahemocytes reveals a preponderance of spreading cells at different stages of differentiation. A few round cells may represent a distinct population of hemocytes. As inL. stagnalis, spreading cells are remarkable in that they synthesize peroxidase that is stored in secretory granules, but inL. truncatulahemocytes, endogenous peroxidase activity is also localized in multivesicular bodics. The ultrastructure and peroxidase content of hemocytes do not seem to be affected in snails with established parasites. Evidence that parasites interfere with normal hemocyte functions is that in the few capsules that occurred in parasitized snails the hemocytes did not spread normally and their peroxidase granules were resorbed into multivesicular bodies.
