Abstract
The biological control of freshwater snail hosts of schistosome parasites has attracted much attention in recent years but the efficiency of such bio-control agents has rarely been tested outside laboratory conditions. The present status of biological control of snail intermediate hosts is summarized; major gaps in knowledge of this subject, especially those of a practical kind are indicated; and studies and activities which apparently merit priority for further sponsorship and support are identified.
