A total of 1260 snail intermediate hosts of both Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haemotobium were collected along the non-seasonal River Enyau which lies half a kilometre west of Arua, a north-western Uganda town. The snails collected were Biomphalaria pfeifferi 709: Biomphalaria choanomphala 457, Bulinus Bulinus tropicus 94. These were screened for cercariae shedding and 25 B. pfeifferi and 12 B. choanomphalal shed mammalian cercaricae while none of the Bulinus (Bulinus) tropicus shed any cercariae. River Enyau Biomphalaria snails were susceptible to a Schistosoma mansoni strain from Entebbe. Cercariae derived from these snails and also those found infected in the River Enyau were confirmed to be S. mansoni using laboratory mice.
在乌干达西北部城镇阿鲁阿以西半公里处的恩亚乌河（该河无季节性变化）沿岸，共采集了1260只曼氏血吸虫和埃及血吸虫的螺类中间宿主。采集到的螺类有：费氏双脐螺709只、乔氏双脐螺457只、热带小泡螺94只。对这些螺进行了尾蚴逸出筛查，25只费氏双脐螺和12只乔氏双脐螺逸出了感染哺乳动物的尾蚴，而热带小泡螺均未逸出任何尾蚴。恩亚乌河的双脐螺对来自恩德培的曼氏血吸虫菌株敏感。利用实验室小鼠证实，从这些螺中逸出的尾蚴以及在恩亚乌河中发现的感染尾蚴均为曼氏血吸虫。
