The freshwater snails surveys were carried out during September 15, 1981 to December 15, 1981, especially for the intermediate or possible intermediate host of Schistosoma mekongi in and around the Cambodian refugee camp at Ban Kaeng Holding Centre, Sakaeo District, Prachinburi Province. A total of 30 localities were visited and 15 species of freshwater snails were collected. The snails did not shed any cercaria of S. mekongi and none of these was the intermediate host of S. mekongi.
