Proposition d’un moyen de lutte biologique contre Galba truncatula, hôte intermédiaire de Fasciola hepatica.
Durant l’estivation, Zonitoides nitidus est carnivore et attaque les autres espèces de Mollusques. Ce prédateur dévore indifféremment les Galba saines ou infestées ; il n’y a pas de transmission des parasites des proies aux prédateurs.
Les expériences montrent qu’une fauche précoce des prairies au début de l’estivation concentre les prédateurs et permet d’éliminer ainsi Galba truncatula.
Abstract
Proposition of a method for biological control of Galba truncatula, the intermediary host of Fasciola hepatica.
During estivation, Zonitoides nitidus is carnivorous and eats the other species of snails. This predator eats the non-infested snails as well as the infested ones. The parasites of preys do not invade the predators.
The experiences show that an early mowing-time of fields concentrates the predators and eliminates Galba truncatula.
