Extract

Information on the incidence of larval trematodes infecting the fresh water molluscs of Llangorse Lake, South Wales, has been collected over a period of three years.

The percentage infection of the molluscs occurring within the habitat has been assessed and comparisons made with the findings of other workers.

The percentage of active and passive parasite stages composing this infection has been considered.
