Resumo
The dominant lethal effects of gamma radiation of 60Co in the snail Biomphalaria glabrata were studied. Three groups
of 13 wild-type snails were irradiated with single doses of 2.5; 10 and 20 Gy. Crossings were carried out at intervals of
7, 17, 23, 30 and 36 days after irradiation. The dominant lethal effect was observed only at the first crossing occurring 7
days after irradiation with 2.5 Gy. With 10 and 20 Gy, the induction of lethal mutations was detected at 7, 17 and 23 days
after irradiation; a dose-response effect was observed. The effect was stronger 7 days after irradiation, decreasing in the
succeeding crossings up to 30 days. Cell-killing effects on germ cells were detected in the crossings at 23 days and 30 days
after irradiation with 20 Gy. After 36 days, frequencies of malformations resumed background levels; crossing rates partially
recovered. These results show that gamma radiation affected all the stages of spermatogenesis. Germ cells at later phases
were more sensitive to the mutagenic effect of radiation and the cell killing effects were observed on the youngest cells. This
response was similar to the highly homogeneous pattern observed in widely different species and allowed us to estimate some
parameters of spermatogenesis in B. glabrata.
