Abstract
The land snails Solatopupa similis were experimentally infected with two protostrongylidae, Muellerius capillaris and Neostrongylus linearis. Although the apparent rate of penetration was always high (64-91%), infection remained low (less than 3 larvae/snail); most of the larvae that penetrated the snails did not develope into second stage larvae. Rates of snail mortality recorded in infected groups were higher than those observed in noninfected snails.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
