The first edition reviewed freshwater snails for the whole of Africa. This revised edition takes account of advances made in taxonomy and in the understanding of the ecology and distribution of these species and also covers snail-borne parasitic

The first half of this book is primarily a systematic survey of the snails, beginning with glossaries, keys for identification to genera and a checklist of species. This is followed by a synopsis of species, with brief notes on ecology, distribution and parasites. Relationships are then described between snails and schistosomes and with other parasites. The book goes on to consider the factors affecting snail populations and possible methods for population control.
