Abstract
Studies on the dry season distribution of freshwater snails in the organically polluted River Kubanni, Zaria, Nigeria, were made using two different collecting techniques. Both techniques revealed a zone, downstream from the Chironomus zone, in which Bulinus globosus and Biomphalaria pfeifferi (the common local intermediate hosts of human schistosomes) were abundant.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
