First Report of Lymnaea columella Say, 1817 (Pulmonata: Lymnaeidae) Naturally Infected with Fasciola hepatica (Linnaeus,1758) (Trematoda: Digenea) in Argentina
We report the first evidence of natural infection of Lymnaea columella with Fasciola hepatica in Argentina. A sample of 601 snails was collected in May 2003 in northeastern Corrientes, a province bounded on the north by Paraguay, on the east by Brazil and on the southeast by Uruguay. Among 500 exami...
