The aim of this study was to elucidate the species diversity of larva trematodes in the Mazandaran Province, Northern Iran. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 3,266 lymnaeid snails from 3 species were collected from different parts of streams, swamps, rice fields and rivers in the central areas of Mazandaran Province (Sari, Neka, Qaemshahr and Savad-Koh cities), during April to September, 2008. The samples were tested by crushing and emerging methods. From the total of examined snails, 119 (3.6%) were found to be infected with the lymnaeid snails. Lymnaea gedrosiana were found to be infected with the Furcocercariae of Diplostomidae, Clinostomidae, Echinostomatidae and also cercariae of the Plagiorchiidae. The latest infection was found to be in L. palustris. The Mazandaran Province with its temperate climate is a suitable place for living of snails, particularly lymnaeidae, that could have a significant role as an intermediate host of diseases.
本研究的目的是阐明伊朗北部马赞德兰省幼虫吸虫的物种多样性。在这项横断面研究中，2008年4月至9月期间，从马赞德兰省中部地区（萨里、内卡、加姆沙赫尔和萨瓦德-科赫市）的溪流、沼泽、稻田和河流的不同地点共采集了3种3266只椎实螺。通过压碎和逸出法对样本进行检测。在所检查的全部螺类中，发现119只（3.6%）感染了椎实螺。发现格德罗西亚椎实螺感染了双口科、斜睾科、棘口科的叉尾尾蚴以及斜睾科的尾蚴。最新发现的感染存在于沼泽椎实螺中。气候温和的马赞德兰省是螺类，尤其是椎实螺科螺类生存的适宜之地，它们作为疾病的中间宿主可能会起到重要作用。
