Entrapment assay of Angiostrongylus vasorum L1 exposed to haemocytes of Achatina fulica. Co-cultivation of haemocytes of A. fulica were seeded on poly-L-lysine pre-coated coverslips and exposed to A. vasorum first-stage larvae. Larvae were considered as entrapped when cell aggregates of at least two cells were in contact with the larvae (b). The data are expressed as percentage of attacked L1 relative to the total amount of L1 (a)
