2021年3月1日 · Overall, these results indicate that toxins of apple snail eggs reversibly modify gut morphology, which may alter bullfrog physiology, limiting their ability to absorb egg nutrients. This study extends the known targets of the apple snail egg defenses against predation to amphibians.

Are apple snail eggs toxic? Females lay eggs in pink-reddish masses, the colour presumably a warning of their chemical defenses. Egg ingestion alters rodent gastrointestinal tracts and is lethal if injected, but its effect on other taxa is unknown.

2022年1月20日 · Apple snails have a toxin in their eggs called PcPV2. The slime coating can also contain lungworm that is capable of infecting a human and can cause serious health issues. But if you do have mystery snail eggs, You don’t need to worry about their toxicity.

Perivitellin-2 (PV2) is a pore-forming toxin present in the egg perivitelline fluid of the apple snails Pomacea maculata (PmPV2) and Pomacea canaliculata (PcPV2). This protein, called perivitellin, is massively accumulated in the eggs (~20 % total protein).
