The comparative analysis of esterase changes in homogenates of the snails Lymnaea stagnalis and L. tumida bodies was carried out. Juvenile snails with shell size 2 mm, 3-4 mm, 5-6 mm and 7-8 mm were exposed to cercariae of the trematodes Echinoparyphium aconiatum and/or Moliniella anceps. The esterase activity was detected spectrofotometrically. The highest level of esterase activity in noninfected L. stagnalis was registered in snails with shell size 3-4 mm. The invasion of snails by trematode cercariae results in a change of esterase activity in the tissues of infected snails. The activity of easterases was increased in the infected L. stagnalis snails with shell size 5-8 mm at 2 days post invasion in comparison with control. The decrease of esterase activity in tissues of infected snails L. stagnalis (3-4 mm) and L. tumida (4 mm) was observed at 26 days post invasion by E. aconiatum only. The host size and parasite species was influenced on esterase activity in the snails.
