1Division of Biosphere Sciences, King's College London, University of London, Kensington, United Kingdom.
Abstract:
Planorbis planorbis, Planorbarius corneus and Biomphalaria alexandrina (Egyptian strain) were ascertained as new experimental first intermediate hosts, thus bringing the total number of planorbid experimental first intermediate hosts to eight. The highest degree of compatibility was exhibited with P. planorbis (infection prevalence 80%) followed by P. corneus (46.6%), whereas B. alexandrina (as snail species not occurring in the geographical range of S. falconispalumbi) showed the lowest degree of compatibility (23.3%).
