ʻOi aku ka wikiwiki o nā snails ma mua o ka manaʻo o kekahi, hiki ke uhi maʻalahi i hoʻokahi mika i hoʻokahi hola. ʻO ia ka mea i ʻike ʻia e ka poʻe noiʻi ma ke Kulanui o Exeter i ko lākou hahai ʻana i nā snails māla 450 me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā LED a me ka pena UV. No laila, makemake nā mollusks i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke ʻano o ka slime trail slipstream. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka neʻe wikiwiki ʻana o nā snails ʻo ia kona ʻaoʻao: ʻo ka lungworm ʻO Angiostrongylus vasorum, a ʻo ka parasite weliweli i ke ola no nā ʻīlio, hele pu me lakou. Ma Beretania Nui, mahalo i nā makahiki waiwai i nā snails, ua laha mua ia mai kona home kupuna ma ka hema a hiki i Scotland.
Nā snails ma ke ala
ʻO ka hui i alakaʻi ʻia e ka ʻepekema ʻo Dave Hodgeson no ka manawa mua i hoʻopaʻa pololei i ka hana pō o nā snails me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kukui LED i hoʻopili ʻia i nā kua o nā holoholona a me nā leo hoʻopaʻa manawa. Ua hoʻohana pū lākou i nā kala UV e ʻike ʻia nā ala o nā mea kolo. "Hōʻike nā hopena i nā snails e hele ana i 25 mau mika i 24 mau hola," wahi a Hodgeson. ʻO ka hoʻokolohua 72-hola hoʻi e hoʻomālamalama i ke ʻano o ka ʻimi ʻana o nā holoholona i ko lākou puni, kahi e ʻimi ai lākou i ka puʻuhonua, a me ke ʻano o ko lākou neʻe ʻana.
"Ua ʻike mākou i ka neʻe ʻana o nā snails i nā convoys, ke ʻano o ka piggybacking ma ka slime o nā snails ʻē aʻe," wahi a ka ecologist. He maʻalahi ke kumu o kēia. No laila ke hahai ka mollusk i ke ala e kū nei, ua like ia me ka slipstreaming, ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Hodgeson e ka BBC. ʻO kēia ke kumu no ka mālama ʻana o ka snail i ka ikehu, a ʻoi aku ka nui. Wahi a nā kuhi, ʻo 30 a 40 ka nui o ka pono o ka ikehu o nā mea kolo ma muli o ka hana ʻana o ka slime.
Lawe ʻia nā parasite
Ua hoʻokomo ʻia nā hopena i ka hōʻike "Slime Watch" e ka hoʻolaha Pelekane E ʻike i ka Lungworm. Makemake kēia e huki i ka manaʻo i ka wikiwiki o ka laha ʻana o ka ʻīlio parasite Angiostrongylus vasorum me nā snails. Hiki i nā ʻīlio ke moni maʻalahi iā ia me nā slugs liʻiliʻi loa i loaʻa ma nā mea pāʻani a i ʻole nā puddles, no ka laʻana. Hoʻokomo nā parasites i nā māmā a, ma muli o ke koʻikoʻi o ka maʻi maʻi, aia nā hōʻailona mai ʻo ka ʻuʻu, ke koko, ka luaʻi, a me ka maʻi ʻaʻai a hiki i ke kahe ʻana o ke kahe. Inā manaʻo ʻia ua loaʻa ka ʻīlio i ka maʻi lungworm, pono e nīnau koke i ke kauka holoholona - a laila hiki ke maʻalahi ka maʻi.
ʻO ka parasite, ka mea i loaʻa mua ma Farani, Denmark, a me ʻEnelani, ua pālahalaha nui aʻe i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ʻaʻole ma Great Britain wale nō. Ua paʻi ʻo Dieter Barutzki mai ka Freiburg Veterinary Laboratory i kahi noiʻi ma 2010, e like me ka laha ʻana o kēia ʻano lungworm i kēia manawa, ʻoi loa ma ke komohana hema o Kelemania. Ma kēia ʻāina hoʻi, ʻo ka snails kekahi mea hoʻokipa koʻikoʻi i waena a no laila ke kumu o ka maʻi o ka hoaaloha maikaʻi loa o ke kanaka.
