Fifteen snail species related to classes Pulmonata and Prosobranchia have been collected from five different localities in Behera province. Pulmonata snails rep < /strong>resented by Biomphilaria alexandrina, Bulinus contortus, Bulinus dybowski, Bulinus innesi, Planorbis philippi, Physa acuta, Lymnaea caillaudi, Lymanaea alexandrina and Helisoma duryi. Prosobranchia snails represented by Cleop < /em>atra bulimoides, Cleopatra - cyclostomoides, Melania tuberculata, Vivipara unicolor, Neritina nilotica and Lanistes boltini have been collected. Seasonal incidences of snails were high in spring followed by autumn and winter while decreased in summer.
