ETs formed by gastropod haemocytes after the confrontation with Angiostrongylus vasorum L1. Scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed InEPTs being formed by haemocytes of A. fulica co-cultured with L1 showing different types of InEPTs a two larvae entrapped by a chain of InEPTs and haemocytes, b spread InEPTs (sprInEPTs, arrows), c diffused InEPTs (diffInEPTs, arrows), d haemocytes (arrows) forming aggregated InEPTs (aggInEPTs)
