The susceptibility of Planorbarius metidjensis from Portugal and Salamanca (Spain) to Schistosoma bovis from Salamanca was studied. The degree of susceptibility as measured by positivity rate, number of cercariae, pre-patent period and survival rate, showed that P. metidjensis from Portugal and Spain are very susceptible to S. bovis from Salamanca. The role of P. metidjensis as a host of S. haematobium is questioned and further studies are shown to be necessary. To determine if the disease exists in Portugal, the bovine and snail populations on the border with Salmanaca and Algarve are beginning to be screened.
对来自葡萄牙和西班牙萨拉曼卡的米提金扁卷螺（Planorbarius metidjensis）对来自萨拉曼卡的牛血吸虫（Schistosoma bovis）的易感性进行了研究。通过阳性率、尾蚴数量、潜伏期和存活率衡量的易感性程度表明，来自葡萄牙和西班牙的米提金扁卷螺对来自萨拉曼卡的牛血吸虫非常易感。米提金扁卷螺作为埃及血吸虫（S. haematobium）宿主的作用受到质疑，有必要开展进一步研究。为确定葡萄牙是否存在该疾病，正在开始对与萨拉曼卡和阿尔加维接壤地区的牛群和螺类种群进行筛查。
