Abstract

The occurrence of endoparasitic chironomid larvae in a lymnaeid population from a pond in Southwest-Germany was studied. In late spring the larvae leave their host snails for pupation and kill them in most cases. The prevalence of chironomid infection was at times relatively high and played a certain role in limiting the snail population. In addition, several observations on the behaviour of larvae are described.
