The susceptibility of five Bulinus truncatus snail populations originating from Jordon to infection with three strains of Schistosoma haematobium from Nigeria, Ghana and Egypt was determined. The results showed that all five populations are susceptible to these parasite strains and have the ability to become infected with a wide variety of S. haematobium strains from different geographic areas of the Middle East and Africa.
