Investigation on Infection of Trematodal Larvae in Snails in Taunggyi and Ayetharyar Areas, Myanmar

| During the study period, a total 1,632 snails belonging to eight species which act as intermediate host(s) of trematodes were collected by hand picking using the time-collection method from near watering points. Among them, 13.2% (216/1,632) snail samples were found to be infected with trematode larvae. Abundance of infected snails was higher in rainy season showing significant relationship with monthly temperature and monthly rainfall. Abundance of infected snails was higher in Taunggyi Township than in Ayetharyar Township.
