Abstract

In Nigeria, little information is available on the distribution and ecology of fresh water snails as vectors of helminths. The authors have enumerated five species, the frequency of occurrence of which is exposed and discussed. No environmental factors seem to affect their distribution. Investigations are still continuing.
