410 Biomphalaria glabrata (Caribbean strain of Guadeloupe) have been infected with one miracidium of Schistosoma mansoni, 110 snails, used as controls have been kept into water; the survival rate was 96.4% after 4 weeks and 25.4% produced cercariae. 300 snails were kept on wet soil, and submitted for 6 weeks to progressive desiccation. The survival rate was 23.4% but only 9 of them produced cercariae. Periodic variations of the production of male and female larvae have been shown by the weekly test of the cercariae productions. In previously desiccated snails, the production of male and female cercariae is similar while in controls the production of female larvae is more important. In experimental snails, the larval development seems to be stopped during anhydrobiosis. The production of cercariae is just delayed for the length of the dry keeping.
