A survey was made on the prevalence and intensity of schistosomiasis in 14 localities in 4 areas in Somalia has revealed the presence of urinary bilharziasis among the inhabitants of all these localities, this being much higher in the two areas where water development has been accomplished. The mean prevalence of infection was found to be 27.2% and 58.1% in the two areas where water development has only been planned, while it was 58.7% and 75.6% in the two areas where the extension of irrigation was achieved years ago. Snails were collected from the habitats visited and these were identified. The role of Bulinus abyssinicus in the transmission of infection was proven.
对索马里4个地区14个地点的血吸虫病流行情况和感染强度进行的一项调查显示，所有这些地点的居民中都存在埃及血吸虫病，在已完成水利开发的两个地区，感染率要高得多。在仅规划了水利开发的两个地区，平均感染率分别为27.2%和58.1%，而在多年前就实现了灌溉扩展的两个地区，平均感染率分别为58.7%和75.6%。从所走访的栖息地采集了蜗牛并进行了鉴定。证实了阿比西尼亚双脐螺在传播感染中的作用。
