[Density and hydrostatic settling velocity of Biomphalaria straminea ].

OBJECTIVE: To understand the eco-hydraulics characteristics of Biomphalaria straminea , the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni .

METHODS: The drainage method and settlement tube method were applied to measure B. straminea 's density and hydrostatic settling velocity respectively.

RESULTS: The density of B. straminea was 1.04-1.16 g/cm3 , and the average value was 1.08 g/cm3 . The hydrostatic settling velocity was 2.32-12.92 cm/s.

CONCLUSIONS: The eco-hydraulics characteristics of B. straminea is different from Oncomelania hupensis , and more attention should be paid to the hydraulic measures for the control of B. straminea .
