This field study investigated the distribution of the freshwater snails of the family Ampullariidae in 18 provinces of Thailand. The introduced Pomacea canaliculata has wide distribution in the studied provinces. Pila angelica, P. ampullacea and P. pesmei still have limited distribution. Pila polita, which is absent in the south, now can be found in Phangnga, a southern province of Thailand. Moreover, P. polita is currently used as a traditional medicine of the local people for the treatment of a skin disease.
这项实地研究调查了泰国18个省份中瓶螺科淡水螺的分布情况。引进的福寿螺在研究省份中分布广泛。安氏瓶螺、瓶螺和佩氏瓶螺的分布仍然有限。原本在南部没有的尖瓶螺,现在在泰国南部省份攀牙可以找到。此外,尖瓶螺目前被当地居民用作治疗皮肤病的传统药物。
