Abstract
The hemolymph from both healthy and parasitised Carcinus mediterraneus are immunochemically analysed. The study confirms the presence in the blood of the infested Crab of a supplementary fraction which was already observed by electrophorsis. Moreover, some infested Crabs develop an anti sacculin precipitin reaction, not visible on healthy animals. The relations between these proteic fractions are discussed.
