“…Among them, Fasciola hepatica (the common liver fluke) is the species which has the largest geographical distribution and the widest definitive-host spectrum, and which is the main cause of human infections (Hurtrez-Boussès et al, 2001;Mas-Coma et al, 2009). Lymnaeid snails have been subjected to many studies (taxonomical, ecological and parasitological) regarding their role as intermediate hosts of parasites with medical and veterinary importance, and particularly for their involvement in fascioliasis transmission (Bargues & Mas-Coma, 1997;Gutiérrez et al, 2000Gutiérrez et al, , 2005Rondelaud et al, 2004;Correa et al, 2011). Indeed, about 20 species of lymnaeids have been described to host F. hepatica (Correa et al, 2010).…”
