A collection of lymnaeid snails in Montana was made over a 3 year period, in conjunction with a state-wide survey of the distribution of liver flukes in Montana. Collection areas were selected based on reports of infected cattle, sheep or wildlife, and with the intent of covering all geographic regions of the state. Snails were found at all 97 of the locations chosen for collections, with lymnaeids collected at 71 of the locations. The 97 sites were located in 28 of Montana's 56 counties. Nine lymnaeid species were collected, five of which have been reported either as natural or experimental intermediate hosts for Fasciola hepatica or Fascioloides magna. The two snail species most widely distributed over the areas enzootic for the flukes were Lymnaea modicella and Lymanaea caperata.
在蒙大拿州进行了为期3年的椎实螺收集工作，这与该州范围内的肝吸虫分布调查相结合。收集区域是根据感染牛、羊或野生动物的报告选定的，目的是覆盖该州所有地理区域。在选定用于收集的所有97个地点都发现了蜗牛，其中71个地点收集到了椎实螺。这97个地点位于蒙大拿州56个县中的28个县。收集到了9种椎实螺，其中5种已被报告为肝片吸虫或巨片形吸虫的天然或实验中间宿主。在吸虫地方病流行区域分布最广的两种蜗牛是细纹椎实螺和截形椎实螺。
