Abstract: A study has been made of the effect of Alarisa cornuanetis on 4 populations of Biomphalaria alexandrina, exactly matching control populations in size, number and season of nurture. The observations were made in a series ofartijicial earth-lined ditches with continuously flowing Nile water. Q]ıantitative estimation of the densities of the experimental and control populations was made by standard twice a month samplings with a dip net.
