No trematodosis is known at the present time in Mayotte despite the close historical relationships between the Mayotte Archipelago and the neighbouring island of Madagascar, which is heavily infested. It is noteworthy that no intermediate host has been described in previous studies in Mayotte. An inventory of fresh water snails was performed from 1985 to 1988, in 53 experimental stations during the rainy and the dry seasons: 3,940 snails of eight different species were collected and further identified. The sole occurrence of Lymnaea natalensis constitutes a new record in Mayotte where there are now 14 different species of fresh water snails. According to the role of Lymnaea natalensis as a vector of Fasciola gigantica, particularly in Madagascar, the veterinary control of cattle importation into Mayotte is of great interest.
尽管马约特岛与吸虫病严重流行的邻国马达加斯加岛在历史上关系密切，但目前在马约特岛尚未发现吸虫病。值得注意的是，此前在马约特岛的研究中未发现中间宿主。1985年至1988年期间，在雨季和旱季对53个实验点的淡水蜗牛进行了清查：共采集并进一步鉴定了8种不同的3940只蜗牛。纳塔尔椎实螺的单独出现是马约特岛的新记录，该岛目前有14种不同的淡水蜗牛。鉴于纳塔尔椎实螺作为巨片形吸虫传播媒介的作用，特别是在马达加斯加，对进入马约特岛的牛进行兽医管控具有重要意义。
