PDFAbstract
Sequencing of the rDNA ITS–1 proved that the lymnaeid snail species Galba truncatula is present in Argentina and that it belongs to the haplotype HC, the same as that responsible for the fascioliasis transmission in the human hyperendemic area with the highest human prevalences and intensities known, the Northern Bolivian Altiplano.
