Abstract
ABSTRACTVarious populations of laboratory bred bulinid snails were exposed to miracidia of Schistosoma bovis from Mbozi. The parasite is naturally transmitted by Bulinus globosus in the area. Laboratory infection revealed a good relationship with B. forskalii and B. globosus from Mbozi and a population of B. forskalii from Dar es Salaam (infection rates 100%, 63·6% and 41·7% respectively). Populations of B. globosus and B. nasutus from Dar es Salaam were refractory. It appears that both snail species (B. globosus and B. forskalii) present in Mbozi district transmit S. bovis.
