Abstract

The content of nonspecific immune complexes and the intensity of oxidative processes in the tissues of invasive bivalve molluscs Dreissena polymorpha , D. bugensis , and Corbicula fluminea of the Gorky Reservoir were studied. Comparative analysis revealed differences in the quantitative parameters of immune complexes and malondialdehyde between C. fluminea and Dreissenidae. The identified interspecies differences seem to be associated both with the distinctive features of the lifestyle and morphological and physiological parameters, and with the adaptive capabilities of the body associated with the efficiency of the immune and antioxidant systems.
