Abstract:
F0.01(1,5)=16. 30,P0. 05). Conclusion Laboratory results thus suggest that infection intensity is related to snail size per se, whereas prevalence in the field is related to snail size only through the correlation between size and age. In addition, under these experimental conditions, infected snails were no larger than uninfected snails, so the gigantism snails observed in the field might not be attributable to Trichobilharzia-induced effect.
