RESEARCH ON THE COMPOSITION OF SNAIL SPECIES AND CERCARIAE IN SNAILS IN TAN NHUT RICE FIELD OF BINH CHANH DISTRICT, HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM
Main Article Content
Abstract
A study on the snail composition by the morphological method in Tan Nhut rice field in Binh Chanh district, Ho Chi Minh City was carried out in August 2022 (the rainy season) and January 2023 (the dry season). A total of 791 snail samples belonging to 9 species, 9 genera, and 6 families was collected and identified. They are Pomacea canaliculata (57.4%), Bithynia siamensis (18.5%), Melanoides tuberculata (8.5%), Filopaludina sumatrensis (6.6%), Indoplanorbis exustus (3.8%), Lymnaea viridis (3.7%), Thiara scabra (1.0%), Idiopoma umbilicata (0.5%), and Cipangopaludina chinensis (0.1%). Bithynia siamensis and Lymnaea viridis were infected with cercariae of trematode with a prevalence of 9.6% and 6.9%, respectively. The trematode prevalence (cercariae stage) from Bithynia siamensis in the dry season (46.2%) was significantly higher than in the wet season (1.7%) (P<0.05). The recovered cercariae were Xiphidio cercariae, Echinostome cercariae and Cystophorous cercariae. The findings provided information about the diversity of snails and cercariae infection in snails in rice fields to contribute to sustainable agriculture development.
