Abstract
Pruritus developed in two persons at different times, after contact with water in a duck pond at a motel in Sacramento. At those times (in August 1961 and June 1962) large numbers of snails infected with the dermatitis-producing cercariae T. physellae were present in the pond. Experimental lesions were produced in volunteers and by exposure to infected water while collecting snails along the shore of the pond.Entities:
