Temperature is an environmental parameter that remarkably affects the survival and organism health of poikilothermal animal-Whitmania pigra Whitman. Heat stress destroys the physiological homeostasis of intestine tissue. However, no studies on the intestinal mucosa response of leech exposure to heat...
