Abstract
Experimental studies demonstrate that under laboratory conditions the snail M. cornuarietis was effective in limiting the growth of populations of Biomphalaria pfeifferi, an African snail vector of schistosomiasis. Marisa devoured egg masses and young Biomphalaria while browsing.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
