1,024 individuals of were collected from 12 different localities in eight provinces from north, west, and central regions of Thailand. The infection of parasitic trematodes was investigated using shedding and crushing methods to search for cercariae and metacercariae. Trematode infection was found at a relatively low prevalence of 5.57%. Five different morphological types of cercariae were detected; xiphidio, monostome, mutabile, ophthalmoxiphidio, and microcercous, and three different morphological types of unknown metacercariae were observed. Microcercous cercariae of the lung fluke genus is reported here for the first time in a bithyniid snail. Our current finding show that can serve as intermediate host for a range of parasitic trematodes in Thailand.
从泰国北部、西部和中部八个省份的12个不同地点采集了1024个个体。采用逸出法和压碎法调查寄生吸虫感染情况，以寻找尾蚴和后尾蚴。发现吸虫感染率相对较低，为5.57%。检测到五种不同形态类型的尾蚴：剑尾型、单口型、可变型、眼剑尾型和微尾型，并观察到三种不同形态类型的未知后尾蚴。本文首次在沼螺中报道了并殖吸虫属的微尾蚴。我们目前的研究结果表明，沼螺可作为泰国一系列寄生吸虫的中间宿主。
