          Abstract

          Em estudo malacológico realizado na Bacia Hidrográfica do Lago Soledade, Ouro Branco, MG, no período de setembro de 1986 a março de 1991, foram coletados 46.579 moluscos, representados por 07 espécies de 05 famílias. Foram coletados 39.176 exemplares de Biomphalaria tenagophila, 1.296 de B. glabrata, sete exemplares de Drepanotrema cimex, 2.527 de Physa sp, 417 de Lymnaea sp, 92 de Pomacea haustrum e, a partir de março/1990, 3.064 exemplares de Melanoides tuberculata (Melanniidae = Thiaridae). Dos moluscos que apresentaram positividade para diversas larvas de trematódeos, quatro exemplares de B. tenagophila estavam positivos para S. mansoni.

            The spread of freshwater snails including those of medical and veterinary importance.

            The present paper discusses the spread of freshwater snails that act as intermediate hosts for various trematodes that cause diseases in man and in cattle. Examples of snail species which have spread across natural barriers are reviewed as well as the mechanisms involved in this transport. Focus is put on the extensive trade in freshwater aquatic plants and aquarium fish, and the need for better control of this trade is emphasized in order to minimize the risk of unintended import of potentially harmful snails.
