Cercarial Fauna of Freshwater Snails in Selected Agricultural Areas in Laguna, Philippines.

Freshwater snails serve as one of trematodes' intermediate hosts. Previous studies on trematode larval stages in the Philippines have largely focused on species with public health importance. This study sought to investigate the prevalence of cercarial morphotypes in several freshwater snail species found in different habitat types (rice field, irrigation canals, and residential area) in selected agricultural areas in Los Baños and Bay in Laguna.
