Laboratory experiments have shown that Bulinus truncatus, B. globosus and B. umbilicatus intermediate hosts of trematodosis in Senegal have a power resistance to the drought. Ten to 48 % of these molluscs particularly the medium sized ones (6 to 8 mm) have endured this drought which has lasted 7 to 8 months. This phenomenon has a great importance in the epidemiological study of human and animal trematodosis particularly in the Sahelian areas.
