Impact of CdCl2 on biochemical changes in planaria, Dugesia bengalensis Kawakatsu.
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.
