Journal ArticleDOI
Schistosomiasis in Kano State, Nigeria
TL;DR: A wide size range of both species of snail were found to aestivate, but there was differential mortality of young B. rohlfsi soon after the lake re-fllled, and the optimally surviving size group of B. globosus was 9 mm.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of snail aestivation in transmission of schistosomiasis in changing climatic conditions
TL;DR: It is shown that schistosome-infected snails have lower survival rates during aestivation, and that those that survive manage to get rid of the infection.

Journal Article
The transmission of Schistosoma haematobium in an area of Lake Province, Tanganyika.
TL;DR: It is considered that a substantial reduction in transmission of S. haematobium might be effected by application of a molluscicide timed so as to lower the population density before aestivation begins, followed by a second treatment when the habitats have been refilled by rainfall to reduce further the population that has survived the first treatment and subsequent desiccation.
Journal Article
Studies on the snail vectors of bilharziasis mansoni in North-eastern Brazil.
TL;DR: The authors describe the bilharziasis endemic areas in north-eastern Brazil, giving the rainfall and general characteristics of the climate and the life-cycles of the two snail vectors-Australorbis glabratus and Tropicorbis centimetralis-in Pernambuco.
