Abstract

The present work was based on a preliminary survey of the snail species infected with parasites. Snails were collected from five different freshwater bodies from Nandurbar District, identified and examined for infection. Ten snails of each species from each site were examined. The Study shows that cercaria is more in number in snails and is also found in water of freshwater bodies.
