title: Impact of CdCl2 on biochemical changes in planaria, Dugesia bengalensis Kawakatsu.
abstract: Cadmium induces different anomalous behavioral changes with dose and time dependent mortality and change in the macromolecular patterns of D. bengalensis. Bio-accumulation of heavy metal in planarians could be used to detect the level of water pollution.
