Abstract
Aeolosoma viride, a globally distributed freshwater annelid, has a semitransparent appearance with 10 to 12 segments, about 2 to 3 mm in length. It is easy to raise and handle in laboratory conditions. Due to its robust regenerative capacity and applicability of various molecular tools including EdU labeling, whole-mount in situ hybridization (WISH), and RNA interference (RNAi), it rises as a promising model for studying whole-body regeneration.
