TL;DR: The Warburg's manometric technique was used to measure the rate of oxygen consumption of the second generation of laboratory-reared snails, Biomphalaria alexandrina and Bulinus truncatus at two temperatures of 25° and 30°C to clarify the metabolism of both schistosome-infected and uninfected snails.
Abstract: The Warburg's manometric technique was used to measure the rate of oxygen consumption of the second generation of laboratory-reared snails, Biomphalaria alexandrina and Bulinus truncatus at two temperatures of 25° and 30°C. The individual weight of the experimental snails ranged between 40 and 78 mg for B. alexandrina, between 60 and 90 mg for B. truncatus.

TL;DR: Experimental results showed that H. duryi snails are refractory to infection with Schistosoma haematobium and SchistOSoma mansoni and the role of Helisoma snails towards Biomphalaria alexandrina is under investigation.
Abstract: Laboratory experiments were carried out to test the role of Helisoma duryi snails in the biological control of Bulinus truncatus. The original H. duryi stock was obtained from the Danish Bilharziasis Laboratory, Denmark.
