摘要：
Seven species of snails Indoplanorbis, Bulinus, Physa, Lymnaea, Gyraulus, Bellamaya and Oncomelonia belonging to class Pulmonata and Prosobranchia were collected from water bodies of four districts i.e. Gujranwala, Sheikhupura, Lahore and Kasur of the Punjab province, Pakistan. Of 10341 snails, 11.67% (Indoplanorbis, Bulinus and Physa) were found to be shedding amphistome cercariae. Season wise prevalence indicated that it was highest during summer and lowest during winter. The most favourable temperature was 30 +/- 31 degrees C, maximum day light for 14 h and pH ranging from 7.44 to 7.51.
