Abstract
The study was designed to assess the pevalence of the Lymnaea snails, identification of infected and non-infected snails with intermediate stages of liver fluke and to recommend suitable copper sulphate concentration as molluscieide under laboratory and experimental pond conditions. Prevalence of Lymnaea species was found to be 42% and infection of Lymnaea snails with intermediate stage of Fasciola hepatica ranged between .38% and 69% in five habitats studied during the period from October 1992 to March 1993. Copper sulphate dilution 1 mg/100 ml (10 ppm) was found to be effective as molluscicide and safe for other aquatic fauna and vegetation.
