Biomphalaria Snails and Larval Trematodes

This book on "Biomphalaria Snails and Larval Trematodes" presents up to date information on the interactions of these snails and their trematode parasites, particularly on Schistosoma spp. larvae. Snails of the genus Biomphalaria are of significant medical importance since several species...
