Study of the behavior of snails intermediate hosts of under different maintenance conditions and their resistance to salinity in an african laboratory environment.

Background: The control of snails intermediate hosts remains an effective strategy to limit schistosomiasis transmission despite the widespread mass de-worming campaign based on praziquantel. Therefore, the study of snail biology could help to improve snails control strategies. This study evaluated the development of , and in various water sources and their resistance to salinity.
