Background: Identification of the larval stages of spp. in freshwater snails is an essential guide to continue monitoring the possibility of their transmission and the potential of echinostomiasis in areas where trematodes are the primary agent of parasitic diseases. The aim of this study was investigate using morphological and molecular techniques.

- Researchers studied over 5,300 freshwater snails from 51 habitats around the Caspian Sea in northern Iran to identify the local snail species and check for trematode infections.
- Five families of snails were found, with Physidae being the most common; around 20% of the snails were infected with various parasites.
- The findings suggest a significant presence of snail-borne diseases in the region, prompting calls for more research and attention from policymakers to monitor these health risks.
