Abstract
در اين تحقيق 10389 حلزون، از نوامبر 2005 تا اكتبر 2006 از چهار منطقه مورد مطالعه در پنجاب جمعآوري گرديد. بيشترين فراواني به ترتيب در ايندوپلانوربيس (38%)، ﻓﻴــﺰﺍ (17%)، بلاميا (3/10%)، ژيرلوس (10%)، ليمنهآ (2/9%) و انکوملانيا (9%) مشاهده شد و كمترين فراواني در جنس بولينوس (7/6%) ديده شد. تنها حلزونهاي ايندوپلانوربيس از نظر سركر شيستوزوما بويس مثبت تشخيص داده شدند. همبستگي معنيداري بين عفونت در حلزونها و فاكتورهاي هواشناسي از قبيل رطوبت نسبي (%) و بارندگي (mm) مشاهده گرديد (P<0.05) در حالي كه براي فاكتورهايي مانند درجه حرارت (Cº) و تبخير (mm) همبستگي معنيداري ديده نشد.
Abstract
Overall 10389 snails were collected from four study areas of Punjab from November 2005 to October 2006. The highest prevalence (38%) was found for Indoplanorbis followed by Physa (17%), Bellamaya (10.3%), Gyraulus (10%), Lymnaea (9.2%), Oncomelania (9%) and the lowest was found for Bulinus (6.7%). Only Indoplanorbis snails were found to be positive for Schistosoma bovis cercaria. Correlation between snails’ infection and meteorological factors like relative humidity (%) and rainfall (mm) were significant (P<0.05) while this correlation was not significant for temperature (C) and pan evaporation (mm).
