Field Guides to African Freshwater snail identification

These field guides to African freshwater snails of medical and veterinary importance were published by the Danish Bilharzia Laboratory in the 1980s-90s, archived at the University of Copenhagen. They remain a valuable tool for researchers working on schistosomiasis and the intermediate host snail species, and in determining sources of infection in endemic countries.
