Some of these are important in public heath and veterinary medicine. A comprehensive snail search was undertaken throughout provinces in Iran. In the first step, freshwater bodies of Khuzestan, were searched for potential intermediate host snails. Fifteen taxa, namely 8 prosobranch snails and 7 pulmonate snails were collected during the 1990s. Neritina mesopotamica Martens 1879 was found to be new species for Khuzestan.
